For the active immunisation of chickens (broiler and future layers/breeders) to reduce the respiratory signs of avian infectious bronchitis caused by the 793B serotype (GI-13 lineage) of infectious bronchitis virus.
Onset of immunity: 10 days after vaccination.
Duration of immunity: at least 56 days after vaccination.
Indications
None. Contraindications
Tracheal rales could be observed during the first week after vaccination. If they occur, they resolve spontaneously and do not need treatment.
If you notice any side effects, even those not already listed in this package leaflet or you think that the medicine has not worked, please inform your veterinary surgeon.
Adverse reactions
Chickens. Target species
The vaccine can be used in three ways - oculonasal, in drinking water and in spray.
Coarse spray and oculonasal administration: from one day of age.
Administration via drinking water: from 7 days of age Administer one dose per animal by either spray vaccination, via drinking water or intranasal/ocular administration. Where the number of chickens is between the standard dosages, the next higher dosage should be used.

By spraying :
It is recommended to resuspend 1000 doses of the vaccine in 150 - 300 ml of distilled water. The number of doses diluted corresponds to the number of birds in a flock.
The volume of water for reconstitution should be suffcient to ensure an even distribution when sprayed onto the birds, and will vary according to the age of the birds being vaccinated and the
management system.
The reconstituted vaccine suspension should be spread evenly over the correct number of chickens, at a distance of 30 - 40 cm using a coarse spray, preferably when the chickens are sitting together in dim light. The spray apparatus should be free from sediments, corrosion and traces of disinfectants and ideally should be used for vaccination
purposes only.

Administration in the drinking water:
Suspend the vaccine in cool and clean water without traces of chlorine, other disinfectants or impurities in a number of doses corresponding to the number of birds to be vaccinated. Vaccine should be suspended immediately before use.The volume of water for reconstitution depends on the age of the birds, breeds, the management practice and weather conditions. By adding approximately 2 grams of skimmed milk powder or 20 ml of liquid skimmed milk per litre of water the virus retains its activity longer.
In order to determine the quantity of water in which vaccine will be suspended for the vaccination of chickens in a younger age category (until third week of life), the following are guidelines:
- multiplying the number of birds in the thousands with the day of life (e.g. 1 thousand of chickens in the 7th day of life = 1 x 7 = 7 L) It is importnt to dissolve the vaccine in the amount of water which will be drunk within 1.5 - 2.5 hours (taking into account the different types of drinking systems for poultry).
In order to make the birds thirsty, withdraw the supply of drinking water up to 2 hours prior to immunisation (depending on the air temperature).
Always make sure that there is food available when vaccinating. Birds will not drink if they have no food to eat. The drinking system should be clean, without traces of chlorine, other disinfectants or impurities.

Oculonasal administration:
Suspend 1000 doses of the vaccine in 100 ml distilled water. A dose of reconstituted vaccine is 0.1 ml, i.e. two drops, irrespective of poultry age, weight and type.
Instil one drop into the eye and one drop into the nose opening. Ensure that the nasal drop is inhaled before freeing the bird.
Administration & dosage
All the birds in the flock should be vaccinated at the same time. Advice on correct administration
Zero days. Withdrawal period
Special warnings for each target species:
Vaccinate healthy animals only.

Special precautions for use in animals:
The vaccine strain can spread to susceptible, unvaccinated chickens following vaccination.
It is possible that the vaccine virus can be spread to non-target susceptible species. Appropriate veterinary and husbandry measures should be taken to avoid spread of the vaccine strain to unvaccinated birds or susceptible species as much as possible.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals:
Care should be taken when reconstituting and administering the vaccine. Wash and disinfect hands and equipment after administration of the vaccine.
