Description

Salmonella Live Vaccine

Do you need protection against salmonellosis on your farm? Our Salmonella Live Vaccine, which contains the attenuated MTR2 strain of Salmonella enteritidis bacteria, offers wide-range protection against salmonellosis.

• This vaccine was developed by Biovac Biological Laboratories, using metabolic drift mutations which are mutations in essential enzymes and metabolic regulatory centres.
• On per-oral vaccination, this vaccine elicits protection by the invasion and multiplication of Salmonella in the mucosa-associated lymphatic tissues (MALT) and gut-associated lymphatic tissues (GALT) such as Peyer’s patches.
• The vaccine strain survives and multiplies for a period of time just sufficient for eliciting a protective response.
• Do not freeze the vaccine, store at 2ºC-8ºC protected from direct sunlight.

Composition

• Each dose contains attenuated Salmonella enteritidis MTR2 strain, at least 108.0 CFU.

Indication

• For active immunization of chickens to reduce sickness resulting from salmonellosis. It also mitigates carrying and shedding of Salmonella enteritidis.

Drinking water:

• Withhold all anti-bacterial treatments of chicken 3 days before and 3 days after vaccination.
