Nobilis® IB+ND+EDS

Nobilis IB + ND + EDS is an inactivated combined vaccine for the immunization of chickens against Infectious Bronchitis (serotype Massachusetts), Newcastle Disease and Egg Drop Syndrome ’76.

Composition

Active components

  • Inactivated IB strain M41.
  • Inactivated ND Clone 30.
  • Inactivated EDS’76 virus strain BC14.

Formulation

Water-in-oil emulsion.

Indications

The vaccine is recommended for the booster vaccination of layers and breeding stock for protection against the Massachusetts serotype of Infectious Bronchitis, Newcastle Disease and for protection against Egg Drop Syndrome ’76 throughout the laying period.

Vaccination

Nobilis IB + ND + EDS should be given to birds not less than 4 weeks before the expected onset of lay. For an optimal booster effect, the birds must be primed with live vaccines against Infectious Bronchitis and Newcastle Disease. For priming against IB the live Massachusetts (Nobilis IB Ma5 or Nobilis IB H120) should be used. The best results will be obtained if vaccination with inactivated vaccine takes place 6 or more weeks after administration of the live primer but in no circumstances should this be carried out earlier than 4 weeks after priming.
