About the product

«AVIVAC-PASTOVAC» is an inactivated vaccine against pasteurellosis in poultry available as an injectable suspension.

The vaccine is prepared from adhesion antigens of a virulent P. multocida strain mixed with aluminium hydroxide adjuvant. The vaccine has the appearance of a light-grey suspension with white sediment forming at the bottom of the vial upon storage that easily dissolves upon shaking. The vaccine is available in hermetically sealed vials containing 20 to 500 cm³ of the product corresponding to 20 to 500 doses.

Immunity to pasteurellosis develops 14 to 28 days after immunization and lasts at least 6 months. The vaccine is innocuous and non-reactogenic; it possesses no therapeutic properties.

Indications for use
The vaccine is administered intramuscularly into the area between the radius and ulna.

Dosage for intramuscular administration:

Before use the vial containing the vaccine should be incubated at a temperature between +20 and 22°C for 3 to 4 hours. Before and during immunization the vials containing the vaccine are intermittently shaken in order to keep the suspension uniform.
