Indications
This vaccine is indicated for broiler chickens, breeders and layers for the prevention of Infectious Bursal Disease. For best results, birds should be vaccinated at 10-12 days of age. Single vaccination of broiler chicks confers good protection for their whole growing period.

Dosage and Administration
Always consult your veterinarian as to the proper vaccination program.
This vaccine can be administered via drinking water or by eye-drop.
Press the blister to release the tablet into cold boiled water. Make sure that the tablet is fully dissolved while gas is being released. Wait 1-2 minutes until complete dissolution achieved and then mix gently to ensure homogenous dispersion of the vaccine.

Administration via Drinking Water
It is recommended to reconstitute the proper quantity of tablets for vaccination into 1/5 of the daily volume of drinking water. The exact amount of water for reconstitution depends on birds’ age, species and weather conditions. This volume of water containing vaccine should be consumed within 2-3 hours. To neutralize the chlorine in the drinking water, use a commercial chlorine neutralizer according to instructions for use, or add 50ml of skimmed milk or 5 grams of skimmed milk powder to each 1 liter of water. After dissolving the skimmed milk, wait for 5 minutes, and then add the vaccine.
Nipple drinking water systems should be cleaned a few days before vaccination with vinegar (final concentration of 0.5-0.8%, or with citric acid (200-300 grams/1000 liters).

Administration by Eye-Drop
The tablet should be dissolved in cool boiling water, 1000 doses of vaccine in 30-50ml of water (the exact amount of water depends on the type of dropper being used).
Hold the bird pressed in one hand and allow 1 drop to fall into the eye. Release pressure to induce swallowing of the drop and make sure that the vaccine is swallowed before releasing of the bird.
After reconstitution, the vaccine should be applied within 2-3 hours.
