Nobilis Nd C2 - 2500 Dose

Nobilis ND C2 vaccine is a live vaccine against Newcastle Disease in chickens. For active immunisation of chickens to reduce clinical signs and mortality caused by Newcastle disease virus. Vaccination The vaccine can be administered to chickens from 1 day of age onwards.The optimum time and method of administration depend largely upon the local situation. Because of the mild nature of the C2 vaccine strain it is suitable for vaccination from 1 day of age onwards, and it is recommended to revaccinate after 2-3 weeks with a live lentogenic NDV vaccine (e.g. Nobilis ND Clone 30) to enhance the immunity. Test application The vaccine can be administered by oculonasal application or by spray. Dosage Administer 1 dose of at least 5.7 log10 EID50 per animal Method of administration – Oculonasal application Reconstitute the vaccine with the appropriate amount of a suitable diluent and administer by means of the standardised dropper. One drop should be applied onto one nostril or one eye. Ensure that the nasal drop is inhaled before freeing the bird. For oculonasal administration a special diluent, Nobilis Diluent O/N, is available in a dropper in two dosage forms (1000 and 2500 doses). – Spray Reconstitute the vaccine in cool, clean water to which 2% skimmed milk may be added. The volume of diluent for reconstitution should be sufficient to ensure an even distribution when sprayed onto the birds. This will vary according to the age of the birds being vaccinated and the management system, but 250 to 500 ml of water per 1000 doses is suggested. The vaccine suspension should be spread evenly over the birds at a distance of 30-40 cm, preferably when the birds are sitting together in dim light. The spray apparatus should be free from sediments, corrosion and traces of disinfectants and ideally should be used for vaccination purposes only. Withholding period Zero days
