DIRECTION FOR USE – USE ONLY AS DIRECTED

Recommended Vaccination Programme

Nobilis® Coryza should be given to chickens from 5 weeks of age onwards. To achieve a protection in layers and breeders up to 60 weeks of age, revaccination a few weeks before the onset of egg production is required.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

  • Each chicken should be given 0,5 mℓ of the vaccine subcutaneously into the back of the neck.
  • Allow the vaccine to gradually reach room temperature (20 ºC to 25 ºC) prior to use.
  • Shake well before use and at regular intervals during the vaccination process.
  • Remove the aluminium overseal and the vaccine is ready for use.
  • Inject all the chickens in the flock.

VACCINATION REACTIONS

In healthy chickens, no clinical reaction to the vaccination will be observed. For some weeks after vaccination a slight swelling may be felt at the site of the vaccination. This does not constitute permanent damage of tissues provided that the vaccination has been carried out subcutaneously and aseptically.
