Newcastle B1 Caution

Description

This vaccine is a live virus vaccine of chicken embryo origin, the Newcastle B1 strain virus has been passed through specific pathogen free (SPF) chickens to enhance the level of transmission which is necessary when used for drinking water vaccination. The virus is grown under exacting standards of quality control in SPF embryos produced by healthy chickens in closely supervised flocks.

Newcastle B1 Indications For Use

This vaccine is recommended for vaccination of healthy chickens 14 days of age or older against Newcastle disease by intraocular or drinking water methods, or at 5 or more weeks after initial vaccination by the spray method.

Coarse Spray - Initial vaccination of healthy chickens 1 day of age.

Vaccination Programs

Many factors must be considered in determining the proper vaccination program for a particular farm or poultry operation. To be fully effective, the vaccine must be administered to healthy receptive chickens held in a proper environment under good management. In addition, the response may be modified by the age of the chickens and their immune status. Seldom does one vaccination under field conditions produce complete protection for all individuals in a given flock. The amount of protection required will vary with the type of operation and the degree of exposure that a flock is likely to encounter. For these reasons a program of periodic revaccination may be required.

Contraindications

Chickens to be vaccinated should be free of all diseases, including latent form of chronic respiratory disease (CRD), clinical coccidiosis, blackhead, parasite infestations, etc. and maintained under good environmental conditions.

Precautions

Only Vaccinate Healthy Chickens

Consult your poultry pathologist for further recommendations based on conditions existing in your area at any given time.

Different vaccines should not be mixed for single application.

The vaccination program for replacement pullets should not be started after chickens are 16 weeks of age.

Chickens should not be placed on contaminated premises. Exposure should be avoided immediately after vaccination because it takes up to 10 days to develop resistance.

All susceptible chickens on the same premises should be vaccinated at the same time. If this is not possible, then strict isolation and separate caretakers should be employed for non-vaccinated units. Efforts should be taken to reduce stress conditions at the time the vaccine is administered.

Warning

Newcastle Disease virus can cause inflammation of the eyelids of humans, lasting two or three days. The user should avoid contaminating his hands, eyes and clothing with this vaccine.

Use only for revaccinating chickens five or more weeks after initial vaccination. This vaccine should be dispensed with a Binks 29 spray gun or a specially-designed vaccine sprayer. The vaccine dilution is prepared by mixing 1000 doses of vaccine with 30 ml. of non-chlorinated water. The vaccine is then added to the pressure tank reservoir of the spray apparatus.

1. Rehydrate the vaccine as directed above.

2. Close house sufficiently to prevent cross drafts. Shut off fans.

3. Daytime spraying: Drive chickens to one end of room and pen loosely in approximately one-third of floor space.

4. Dispense vaccine over the heads of the chickens with sprayer. Use one dose per chicken. Spray time should be approximately three minutes for each 1000 chickens.

5. Leave house closed and fans off for up to 15 minutes if possible without distressing the chickens, then resume normal ventilation.

6. After use, flush sprayer with clean, fresh water.
