Use in drinking water
- Withhold drinking water from the fowls for approximately one to two hours (depending on the ambient temperature) before vaccination to ensure that they are thirsty.
- The water troughs should be thoroughly cleaned before administering the vaccine, but disinfectants should not be used, as residues would destroy the vaccine virus.
- Drinking troughs should be free from disinfecting solutions and medications 48 hours prior to vaccination and for 24 hours after vaccination.
- Skim milk powder should be used to stabilise the vaccine virus.
- It should be dissolved in the water at a rate of 0,2% (2 g/l) before the vaccine is added.
- Dissolve the contents of the vial with a small volume of clean, cool, non-chlorinated water. Once reconstituted, mix into the required volume of drinking water according to the number and age of the fowls, season and environmental temperature.
- Distribute the vaccine-treated water so that all fowls have an opportunity to drink.
- Do not give other drinking water until the vaccine-treated water has been consumed.
- For broilers, a single administration at the age of 7-14 days is sufficient.
- In future breeding and layer fowls a first administration is advised at the age of 2-4 weeks, followed by a second between 8-12 weeks.
- The second administration must be given before the onset of lay. Do not vaccinate fowls with any other vaccine within 7 days after the administration of BI-VAC 1°.
