Description

VECTORMUNE FP-LT is a genetically engineered live virus vaccine for the vaccination of chickens. The fowl pox vaccine has been modified to contain and express key protective laryngotracheitis virus antigens.

● Diluent: Store at room temperature between 20-30°C or 2-8°C.

Vectormune FP-LT Indications

The product has been shown to be effective for the vaccination of 18 to 19 day old embryonated chicken eggs and healthy chickens 1 week of age or older against Laryngotracheitis and Fowl pox disease. The duration of immunity is unknown. For more information regarding efficacy and safety data, see productdata.aphis.usda.gov.

Vaccine Preparation

Carefully read the directions before use. The instructions must be completely followed.

Match the vaccine dose size to the proper diluent size and route of administration as follows:

1. For wing web vaccination of chickens at least one week of age.

Mix 10 mL of the blue diluent for each 1,000 doses of vaccine to administer 0.01 mL per chicken.

2. For in ovo vaccination of 18 to 19 day-old chicken embryos.

Mix 100 mL of red diluent for each 1,000 doses of vaccine to administer 0.1 mL per chicken embryo or mix 50 mL for each 1,000 doses of vaccine to administer 0.05 mL per chicken embryo.

WING WEB VACCINATION

1. Remove seal and stopper from vaccine vial and diluent vial. Pour entire contents of diluent vial into vaccine vial, insert stopper, and shake well. The vaccine is ready for use and should be used within two hours.

2. Hold each individual bird and spread the wing with the underside facing up. Dip the two-pronged wing web applicator into the vaccine so that grooves fill with liquid and deliver 0.01 mL per chicken.

3. Insert the two-pronged applicator into the web portion of the wing avoiding blood vessels, muscle, and bone.

4. Seven to ten days after vaccination, observe several chickens for evidence of “takes” that include swelling and/or scab formation at the site of injection.

IN OVO VACCINATION

1. The vaccine is administered in ovo to 18 to 19 day-old embryonated chicken eggs. Read the egg injection system operator’s manual before initiating vaccination. Failure to follow instructions may result in personal injury, excessive embryonic mortality, and low hatchability or poor vaccine efficacy in the field. Inoculate each embryo with one full dose (0.05 mL or 0.1 mL).

2. Sanitize the egg injection system before and after use following the procedures described in the operator’s manual.

3. Boost vaccination should be administered to chickens by the wing web route at seven days of age as described above.

Notice

This vaccine has been thoroughly tested for safety, purity, and potency and is in compliance with all applicable USDA and Ceva standards.
