INDICATIONS
For the prevention of mortality and clinical signs due to infection with avian infectious
laryngotracheitis virus.
Onset of immunity is 14 days post vaccination.
Duration of immunity has not been assessed, however, experience from field use indicates
that once vaccinated birds remain immune to avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus infection
during entire laying period.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not vaccinate diseased birds (except in case of an emergency vaccination).
ADVERSE REACTIONS
About four days after vaccination, redness and some swelling of the conjunctiva or laboured breathing may be seen. Under good hygienic conditions, this reaction will not last longer than three days.
TARGET SPECIES
Chickens
DOSAGE, ROUTE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Vaccine is administered to chickens from 4 weeks of age by eye drop.
1000 doses of freeze dried vaccine must be completely dissolved in 30 ml of the sterile
diluent provided and a drop of dispenser calibrated to deliver at least three hundredth of a
millilitre per drop must be used.
Remove the rubber stopper from the vaccine vial and add sterile diluent to half fill the vial.
Replace the rubber stopper and shake gently so that all the vaccine material is completely
dissolved.
Pour the dissolved vaccine into the remaining sterile diluent and shake again until completely
mixed. The sterile diluent should be at room temperature when used.
Fit the drop dispenser on the bottle. Hold the bird so that one eye is pointed upwards and
allow one drop of vaccine to fall into the eye.
Contact with the disinfectant makes the vaccine ineffective.
Protect the reconstituted vaccine from heat or direct sunlight.
WITHDRAWAL PERIOD
Zero days.
