Description

This vaccine is formulated from a modified strain of Delaware Type Infectious Bronchitis Virus. The virus was received from the University of Delaware and was modified for high immunizing capability and milder reaction, i.e. snicking. The virus is grown under exacting standards of quality control in eggs produced by healthy chickens in closely supervised flocks.

Shor-Bron-D Indications For Use

The vaccine is recommended for vaccination of chickens at one day of age by coarse spray or at two weeks of age or older by the drinking water method against Delaware Type Infectious Bronchitis Virus. The frequency of occurrence of the various types of Infectious Bronchitis Viruses should be considered in planning a vaccination program.

Vaccination Programs

Many factors must be considered in determining the proper vaccination program for a particular farm. To be fully effective, the vaccine must be administered to healthy receptive chickens held in a proper environment under good management. In addition, the responses 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.

Precautions

ONLY VACCINATE HEALTHY CHICKENS

Consult your poultry pathologist for further recommendations based on conditions existing in your area at any given time. The vaccination program for replacement pullets should not be started after chickens are 15 weeks of age.

Chickens should not be placed on contaminated premises. Exposure should be avoided immediately after vaccination, because it takes 21 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 stressful conditions at the time the vaccine is administered.

Preparation Of The Vaccine

For Drinking Water Or Coarse Spray Use

DO NOT OPEN AND MIX THE VACCINE UNTIL READY TO BEGIN VACCINATION. USE VACCINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING.

The contents of the ampules are thawed rapidly by immersing in water at room temperature. Shake ampule to dispense contents. Then break ampule at its neck and immediately proceed as below.

CAUTION: AMPULES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO EXPLODE ON SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES. DO NOT THAW IN HOT OR COLD WATER.

Draw contents of the ampule into a sterile 10 cc syringe. Dilute immediately by filling the syringe slowly from a portion of the water. The contents of the filled syringe are then added to the remaining water. The vaccine is ready for use.

Coarse Spray Administration

Recommended for vaccination of healthy chickens one day of age.

The vaccine dilution is prepared by mixing each 10,000 doses of vaccine with 700 ml of non-chlorinated water. The vaccine is then added to the pressure tank reservoir of the spray apparatus. Each 100 chicks should receive 7 ml of vaccine solution.

Full directions for use of the Spray Cabinet are available from the Company.

Drinking Water Administration

REHYDRATE VACCINE IN WATER ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING TABLE: EACH 10,000 DOSES (BO72F10) ADDED TO THIS AMOUNT OF WATER

Drinking Water Administration

1. Remove all medications, sanitizers, and disinfectants from the drinking water, preferably 72 hours before vaccinating and 24 hours following vaccination.

2. Provide enough watering space so that at least 2/3 of the chickens can drink at one time.

3. Scrub waterers thoroughly and rinse with fresh, clean water.

4. Withhold water for 2 hours before vaccinating to stimulate thirst.

5. Rehydrate the vaccine as directed above.

6. Add rehydrated vaccine to clean, cool non-chlorinated water and mix in accordance with the chart above.

7. Distribute the vaccine solution, as prepared above, among the waterers provided for the chickens. Avoid placing waterers in direct sunlight.

8. Provide no other drinking water until all the vaccine treated water has been consumed.
