CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 TARGET SPECIES Broilers and turkeys from 1 day old. 4.2 INDICATIONS FOR USE SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES For the active immunisation of turkeys and broilers to reduce clinical signs of rhinotracheitis virus infection. Onset of immunity: 3 weeks after vaccination Duration of immunity: 6-9 weeks after vaccination. 4.3 CONTRA-INDICATIONS None 4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES A good immune response is reliant on the reaction of an immunogenic agent and a fully competent immune system. Immunogenicity of the vaccine antigen 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, fully immune birds may succumb to disease. Therefore, successful vaccination may not be synonymous with full protection in the face of a disease challenge. Do not vaccinate unhealthy birds. Sick or weak birds will not develop adequate immunity following vaccination. The vaccine should not be used on sites where TRT has not been diagnosed unless challenge is anticipated. Page 1 of 4 Revised: June 2010 (ATCVet code amended) The vaccine virus spreads and shows some reversion to virulence on bird to bird passage. For these reasons its use is not recommended on multi-age sites. Correct administration is important to ensure optimal initial vaccine ‘take’ 4.5 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE i.
