It should preferably be used for vaccination purposes only.Avoid contamination with traces of disinfectant and/or spirits.Wash and disinfect hands and equipment after vaccination.It is good vaccination practice to avoid contact with the eyes, hands and clothing when handling the vaccine.DIRECTIONS FOR USE – USE ONLY AS DIRECTEDSpray MethodThe vaccine should be dissolved in distilled water. The vial of freeze-dried vaccine should be opened under water. The spray apparatus should be free from sediments, corrosion and traces of disinfectants (it should preferably be used for vaccination purposes only).The vaccine medicated water should be spread evenly over the correct number of chickens, at a distance of 30 to 40 cm, preferably when the chickens are sitting together in dim light.For 1-day-old chicks use 0,25 ℓ of water per 1 000 birds and set nozzle to produce fine droplets, falling like a fine rain. For older chickens, dissolve 1 000 doses/ℓ of water and set the nozzle to produce fine droplets (Aerosol generators should be used only when this is known to be safe to chickens).Eye Drop ApplicationDissolve the vaccine in Intervet Diluent Oculo Nasal and administer by means of a standardised dropper (usually 30 mℓ per 1 000 doses). One drop should be applied from a height of a few centimetres onto 1 eye. As an eye drop application, the drop should be allowed to spread evenly across the surface of the eye.Do not release the chicken until a swallowing motion is noticed.For numbers of birds between standard dosages, the next high dosage should be chosen.VACCINATION PROGRAMThe optimum time and method of administration depend largely upon local situation. The advice of a veterinary surgeon should be sought. The vaccine is safe to use from 1 day of age onwards.GuidelinesBroilers: Vaccination at day old by coarse spray or eye drop route.Layers and Breeders: Vaccination at day old by coarse spray or eye drop route.Revaccination: At approximately 6 weeks of age by coarse spray or the eye drop methods.Immunity and Vaccination ReactionThe duration and intensity of the vaccination reaction and the establishment of a solid immunity are generally dependent on the health and condition of the chickens. Hygiene and management are also important in the post vaccination period.After a first vaccination an adequate immunity against Massachusetts type of IB will last for approximately 6 weeks, provided that the vaccine is properly administered. Emergency vaccination during the laying period may be accompanied by a transient drop in egg production.PRESENTATION10 Vials with each vial containing 1 000, 2 500 or 5 000 doses, packed in a cardboard box.
