DOSAGE, ROUTE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Coarse spray vaccination from one day of age.
Coarse Spray:
This vaccine has been used in most types of spray equipment handsprayers (e.g. ASL Polyspray 2),
knapsack sprayers (e.g. Birchmeyer with 0.55 or 1.6 mm spray nozzle, Gloria with 1.0 mm nozzle
) or automatic spraying equipment (e.g. Bimex). The apparatus should be set
to deliver a coarse spray (droplet size of 80-160 microns), allowing a dose of 0.5 ml per bird.
The vaccine should be reconstituted with water of good quality at room temperature e
.g. deionised water or good quality drinking water.
The vaccine should be dissolved as follows:
Remove the aluminium seal from the vaccine vial. To dissolve the vaccine pellet, the rubber stopper should
then be removed whilst the vial is immersed in a plastic measuring jug containing 0.5 litre of clean cool water.
Half fill the vial with water, replace the stopper and shake to dissolve any remaining vaccine.
The vaccine concentrate should then be added to the water in the jug, mixed well
and transferred to the sprayer tank and thoroughly mixed. For the 1000 dose vial
a total amount of 0.5 l water should be used. For the 5000 dose vial a total
amount of 2.5 l water is required and for the 10,000
dose vial a total amount of 5 l water should be used.
The chickens should be sprayed in chick boxes or carton rings in the
house to avoid loss of the vaccine virus.
