Packaging
Vials of 1000 doses
Compounds
Inactivated (killed) reovirus
Preservatives (e.g., thimerosal or phenol)
Carriers and stabilizers to maintain vaccine stability
Sterile water or buffer solution for pH balance
Mechanism of the Effect
The vaccine contains inactivated (killed) reovirus, which is incapable of causing disease.
After injection, the animal’s immune system recognizes the inactivated virus and generates an active immune response, including the production of antibodies and memory immune cells.
This immune response enables the animal to respond quickly and effectively to live, pathogenic viruses, preventing the onset of disease.
Use case
Booster vaccination of breeder and grandparent flocks against avian reovirus to protect the chicks produced from these flocks against avian reovirus infections.
The amount and how to use
The vaccine dosage is 0.5 ml per chick. This vaccine should be administered either by intramuscular injection in the thigh or breast or by subcutaneous injection in the back of the neck.
