Description

ND EDS Vaccine

Our ND EDS vaccine contains a combination of the LaSota strain of Newcastle Disease virus and the B8/78 strain of the EDS virus. The viral agents are in inactivated form, homogenized with oil adjuvant and Merthiolate as a preservative.

• This vaccine serves as a preventative regimen against two important diseases affecting poultry production: Newcastle disease and egg drop syndrome.
• This vaccine is presented in water-in-oil emulsion form (turbo–emulsion).
• Store this vaccine between +2°C and +8°C or 35°F and 45°F.

Dosage and administration of ND EDS vaccine

• Inject subcutaneously (at the back of the neck) or intramuscularly (pectoral or thigh muscles)
• A first vaccination with a live vaccine against Newcastle disease is recommended
• Administer 0.5ml per bird
• The vaccine must be injected subcutaneously (under the skin of the neck) or by intramuscular route (breast or thigh muscles)
• Give the birds multivitamin after vaccine administration

Precautions

• Vaccinate only healthy birds.
• Before use allow the vaccine to reach room temperature (20-25°C).
• Shake the bottle well before use.
• Use sterile vaccination equipment.
• Use the entire contents when first opened.
• Do not mix with other vaccines.
• Should the operator inject himself or a bystander by accident, a local reaction may occur. It is recommended that the advice of a doctor is sought, taking care to inform the doctor that the vaccine is an oil emulsion.

ND EDS Vaccine: Withdrawal period

Newcastle disease

• Newcastle disease is an infection of domestic poultry and other bird species caused by the virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV).
• Note that chickens are the most susceptible to ND, waterfowl the least susceptible of all domestic poultry.
• The virus is shed through exhaled air, respiratory discharges, and faeces.
• The severity of the disease caused by NDV depends on the virulence of the infecting virus and host susceptibility.
• Clinical manifestations vary from high morbidity/mortality to asymptomatic infections. The severity of infection depends on virus virulence, bird age, immune status, and host susceptibility.
• Observed signs depend on the systemic predilection of the virus (respiratory, digestive, or nervous systems).
• Respiratory signs include gasping, coughing, sneezing, and rales.
• Nervous signs: Tremors, paralyzed wings/legs, twisted necks, circling, clonic spasms, and sometimes complete paralysis.
