Nobilis RT+IBmulti+G+ND Data Sheet
Presentation
Nobilis RT+IBmulti+G+ND contains immunogenic strains of Infectious Bronchitis, Turkey Rhinotracheitis, Infectious Bursal Disease and Newcastle Disease viruses inactivated with formalin or b-propiolactone and suspended in the aqueous phase of an oil adjuvant emulsion.
Per dose of 0.5 ml:
IBV strain M41(Massachusetts): | inducing ≥ 5.5 log2 VN units |
IBV strain 249g (D274/D207): | inducing ≥ 4.0 log2 VN units |
TRT strain But1#8544 (subgroup A): | inducing ≥ 9.5 log2 ELISA units |
IBDV strain D78: | inducing ≥ 14.5 log2 VN units |
NDV strain Clone 30: | inducing ≥ 4.0 log2 HI units per 1/50th dose or containing ≥ 50 PD50 units |
Uses
The vaccine is recommended for the vaccination of breeder chickens for:
- reduction of infection and prevention of egg drop caused by the Massachusetts serotype, and reduction of egg drop and egg shell defects caused by the D274/D207 serotype of Infectious Bronchitis virus
- reduction of infection caused by Newcastle Disease virus
- prevention of respiratory signs and reduction of egg drop and egg shell defects related to Avian Rhinotracheitis virus (Avian Pneumovirus) and to induce
- passive immunisation of the progeny of the vaccinated birds against Infectious Bursal Disease for at least the first four weeks of life.
for RT, IB, ND
Onset of immunity: 4 weeks after vaccination.
Duration of immunity: one laying period.
Dosage and administration
This product should be given to birds around 14‑20 weeks of age but not later than 4 weeks before the expected onset of lay. In the event that live vaccines were used to prime birds against Infectious Bronchitis, Rhinotracheitis, Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bursal Disease, Nobilis RT+IBmulti+G+ND should be given at least 4 weeks after the administration of the live vaccines. Administer one dose of 0.5 ml vaccine per bird via intramuscular injection in the thigh or chest muscle.
Before using the vaccine allow it to reach ambient temperature (15-25°C). Shake the bottle vigorously before use and periodically during use. Ensure that vaccination equipment is clean and sterile before use. Do not use vaccination equipment with rubber parts as the excipient may damage certain types of rubber.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Vaccinate only healthy animals. Vaccination with inactivated vaccine will not completely prevent shedding of wild type virus after infection. Therefore this vaccine is only meant to reduce the clinical signs and not as a tool for eradication of the diseases. Not to be used during lay or within 4 weeks before the onset of the laying period. No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product needs to be made on a case by case basis.
Do not mix with any other veterinary medicinal product.
A good immune response is reliant on the reaction of an immunogenic agent and a fully competent immune system. Immunogenicity of the vaccine antigens will be reduced by poor storage or inappropriate administration. Immunocompetence of the animal may be compromised by a variety of factors including poor health, nutritional status, genetic factors, concurrent drug therapy and stress. Under certain conditions, for example extreme disease pressure and variant challenge, fully immune birds may succumb to disease. Therefore successful vaccination may not be synonymous with full protection in the face of a disease challenge.
Adverse reaction
A mild transient swelling may be observed at the injection site for 2 weeks.
Operator warnings:
To the user
This product contains mineral oil. Accidental injection/self injection may result in severe pain and swelling, particularly if injected into a joint or finger and in rare cases could result in the loss of the affected finger if prompt medical attention is not given.
If you are accidentally injected with this product, seek prompt medical advice even if only a very small amount is injected and take the package leaflet with you.
If pain persists for more than 12 hours after medical examination, seek medical advice again.
To the physician
This product contains mineral oil. Even if small amounts have been injected, accidental injection with this product can cause intense swelling, which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and even the loss of a digit. Expert, PROMPT, surgical attention is required and may necessitate early incision and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement of finger pulp or tendon.
