“AVIVAC-PASTOVAC” (emulsion)
About the product
«AVIVAC-PASTOVAC» is an inactivated emulsified vaccine against pasteurellosis in poultry.
The vaccine contains adhesion antigens of a virulent P. multocida strain mixed with oil-based adjuvant. The vaccine has the appearance of a homogeneous white or pinkish white water-in-oil emulsion. The vaccine is available in glass or plastic 20 to 500 cm3 vials containing 40 to 1000 doses of the product.
Biological properties
Immunity to pasteurellosis develops 14 to 28 days after double immunization and lasts 6 months. The vaccine is innocuous and non-reactogenic; it possesses no therapeutic properties.
Indications for use
Only clinically healthy birds can undergo vaccination.
The birds are vaccinated at the age of 30 days and above and revaccinated at the age of 90 to 110 days, but not later than 3–4 weeks before the egg-laying period.
The vaccine is administered subcutaneously into the lower third of the neck at the dose of 0,5 cm3 per bird. The injection site must be treated with disinfectant; needles and syringes must be sterilized by way of boiling in distilled water for 15 minutes. Before use the vial containing the vaccine should be incubated at room temperature until the temperature of the product reaches +20-22°C. Before and during immunization the vials containing the vaccine are intermittently shaken in order to keep the emulsion uniform.
The vaccine is compatible with antibiotics, sulfanilamides, vitamins and pro-biotic preparations if the latter are administered orally. In high-risk geographical zones, birds must receive antibiotics in addition to the vaccine to ensure protection while immunity develops. Antibiotics must be administered at the doses determined on the basis of the known sensitivity parameters, in accordance with approved treatment schemes.
Storage requirements
The shelf life of the vaccine is 18 months from the date of manufacture, if stored and transported in a dark dry place in original or transport packaging at a temperature between +4 and +8°С.
