DIRECTIONS FOR USE

To be administered via the drinking water, which is suitable for chicks 5 – 10 days old, or via spray method, which is suitable for vaccination of one-day-old chicks in hatcheries.

Administration via drinking water:
Shake the bottle well before use and dilute its contents with the appropriate amount of drinking water as indicated below. Ensure consumption of the whole vaccination dose by withholding the water supply for 2 hours before vaccination, depending on the ambient temperature. Ensure that the medicated water is consumed within 2 hours of administration. Livacox Q can be administered either through individual drinkers or via chick-fonts, bell-drinkers or nipple drinkers. Provide an adequate number of drinkers so that all chickens can receive the correct dose of vaccine.

Dosage: Vaccine dilution should be adjusted to the age of the chicks and temperature in the poultry house. Use the following formula to achieve optimal dosage: 1 Litre of cool, clean, non-chlorinated water for every 1 000 chicks and every day of their age.
e.g. For the vaccination of 5 000 5-day-old chicks dilute 50 ml (1 ml = 100 doses) of Livacox Q in 5 x 5 = 25 Litre of drinking water.

Administration via Spraying:

Shake the bottle well and dilute its contents with the appropriate volume of water as indicated below. Then apply in coarse spray (droplet size of 260 µm) to day-old-chicks already placed in transport crates. Sprayed chicks must be kept in the crates for at least 3 hours after administration.

Dosage: For every 100 chicks, use 1 ml (= 100 doses) of Livacox Q diluted in 19 ml of cool, clean, non-chlorinated water. Add a drop of an approved food colourant to be sure all chicks were covered. Keep in mind that each 100-chick crate must get the full amount (= 100 doses) of the vaccine regardless of whether there are less than 100 chicks.

The immunity will develop 10 – 14 days after vaccination.

Zero days.
