Nobilis® AE + Pox

Nobilis® AE + Pox is a live vaccine against Avian Encephalomyelitis and Fowl Pox in chickens and turkeys.

Composition
Active components per dose:

  • Live AE virus strain Calnek: ≥ 2.5 log10 EID50
  • Live Fowl Pox virus strain Gibbs: ≥ 2.8 log10 EID50

Formulation
A freeze-dried pellet.

Indications
For the active immunization of layer replacement pullets and breeder replacement pullets and turkeys against AE and Fowl Pox. Vaccinated birds are protected against egg drop due to AE during lay, and the progeny of vaccinated birds are protected against AE for the first few weeks of life, via maternally transmitted immunity.

Vaccination

  • Chickens should be vaccinated between 8 and 16 weeks of age.
  • Turkeys should be vaccinated between 18 and 26 weeks of age.

Dosage
One dose per bird.

Method of administration
Wing web method.

One vial of vaccine (1000 doses) should be reconstituted with one vial (10ml) of diluent immediately before use. The applicator should be dipped into the vaccine and then stabbed into the web of the wing from beneath. Feathered areas of the web should be avoided. At about 7-10 days after vaccination, a few birds should be examined for vaccination “take”. A satisfactory “take” is indicated by swelling and scab formation at the vaccination site. Scabs generally fall off 2-3 weeks after vaccination.

Withholding period
None.

Presentation
Boxes of vials each containing 1000 doses vaccine with Unisol Diluent, connector and applicator.

Storage
Store between 2-8°C in the dark.

Contra-indications
When used according to instructions: None.
