TENOSYNOVITIS VACCINE

Live Virus

Caution: Use only in states or countries where permitted and in susceptible chickens 10 to 17 weeks of age. Do not use on premises where other susceptible chickens are maintained.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE, READ CAREFULLY

Description

This vaccine contains a modified live strain S-1133 of tenosynovitis virus grown in chicken embryos.

Teno-Vaxin Indications For Use

For vaccination of healthy chickens between 10 and 17 weeks of age by drinking water administration to aid in the prevention of infectious tenosynovitis.

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.

Rehydration Of The Vaccine

FOR DRINKING WATER USE

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

1. Tear off the aluminum seal from the vial containing the lyophilized vaccine.

2. Lift off the rubber stopper.

3. Pour clean, cool non-chlorinated water into the vaccine vial until the vial is approximately two-thirds full.

4. Replace the rubber stopper and shake vigorously until all material is dissolved.

5. The vaccine is now ready for drinking water use in accordance with directions below.

Drinking Water Administration

FOR CHICKENS BETWEEN 10 AND 17 WEEKS OF AGE

1. Remove all medication, 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 two-thirds of the birds 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 at a sufficient volume to last 1.5 to 2 hours at current flock water consumption rates.

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

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