A live freeze-dried vaccine to prevent Newcastle Disease in fowls. It is administered by the coarse spray or eye drop method.
Vaccinate healthy fowls only.
Application Rate
For administration by coarse spray or eye drop installation. (For eye drop installation the Intervet Oculo-Nasal Diluent may be used).
Dose rates/directions for use:
A. Spray Method
The vaccine should be dissolved in cool, clean, non-chlorinated water which is free from iron and chlorine. The vials of freeze-dried vaccine should be opened under water. The spray apparatus should be free from sediments, corrosion and traces of disinfectants (preferably to be used for vaccination purposes only.)
The vaccine medicated water should be spread evenly over the correct number of fowls, at a distance of 30 to 40 cm, preferably when the fowls are sitting together in dim light.
Dissolve 1 000 doses per litre of water and set the nozzle to produce fine droplets falling like fine rain. (Aerosol generators should be used only when this is known to be safe in fowls).
B. Eye Drop Application
Dissolve the vaccine in physiological saline solution or the Intervet Oculo-Nasal Diluent may be used. Administer by means of a standardised dropper (usually 30 ml per 1 000 doses). One drop should be applied from a height of a few centimetres onto one eye. The eye drop should be allowed to spread across the surface of the eye.
The diluent contains a dye (patent blue) which allows an easy check on the correct vaccination. Do not release the fowls until a swallowing motion is noticed.
Vaccination Programme:
The optimum time and method of administration depends largely upon the local situation. Therefore the advice of a veterinary surgeon should be sought. The vaccine is safe to use from day 1 of age onwards.
Immunity and Vaccination Reaction:
Duration and intensity of the vaccination reaction and the establishment of a solid immunity are generally dependent on the health and condition of the fowls. Hygiene and management are also important in the post vaccination period.
An adequate immunity against Newcastle Disease will last for approximately 6 weeks. In areas where Newcastle Disease is endemic (high risk areas) a second vaccination with NobilisND Clone 30 should be given within approximately 2 - 4 weeks after the first. Consult your Veterinarian. Emergency vaccination during the laying period may be accompanied by a transient drop in egg production.
