Respiratory Integrity Poultry

Newcastle Disease in Poultry Production

Respiratory diseases are among the most devastating diseases in poultry industry and are, in most cases, the result of more than one pathogen involved. Among several avian viruses with tropism of the respiratory tract, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one of the most important viruses of poultry worldwide.1

Due to the  single stranded nature of the genome, the ND virus can evolve rapidly, leading to high genetic variability in circulating virus strains. NDV affects poultry birds of all ages and breeds, while other major respiratory pathogen, such as Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV), is more severe in young chicks.2

The immunology of domestic birds has been well studied and numerous vaccines have been developed against NDV. Most of these vaccines are either inactivated vaccines or live attenuated vaccines. Inactivated vaccines are designed to boost humoral response initially triggered with live vaccines.2

Using various strategies such as combination of live attenuated and inactivated vaccines will lead to effective programs that contribute to food security and the economic development of many countries on a global scale.2

Product Description

Composition (Before Inactivation)

  • Inactivated NDV genotype II LaSota strain ≥ 8.0 log10 EID50.

Indications

Immunization of chickens against clinical signs and mortality associated with Newcastle Disease.

Vaccination Program

Birds can be vaccinated from first day of age onwards, as per advice from your poultry veterinarian.

Considerations

  • The vaccine should not be used if chickens are immunosuppressed.
  • Do not mix with any other veterinary medicinal product.
  • Vaccine bottles shall be shaken well before use.
  • Use sterile injection equipment.

Dosage

The vaccine dose (0.3 mL/bird) should be administered subcutaneously in the lower part of the neck or intramuscularly in the thigh or breast muscles.

Withdrawals

Zero days.

Administration

Before use, the vaccine should be shaken well to ensure proper mixing. Sterile injection equipment should be used to avoid contamination.

  • Subcutaneous (SC): inject in the lower part of the neck. The needle should be inserted just under the skin in a direction away from the head and in a straight line with the neck.
  • Intramuscular (IM): inject in the breast muscles by inserting the needle with a 45° angle to avoid intraperitoneal injection.

Storage Precautions

  • Store and transport refrigerated (+2°C to +8°C). 
  • Do not freeze.
  • Store in a dry place protected from direct sunlight.
  • Do not use this product after the expiry date.
