  • Protect from direct sunlight.

Contents:

Each 0,1 mℓ dose of NOBILIS® ND BROILER contains ≥ 20 PD50 units of inactivated Newcastle Disease virus (the Newcastle Disease virus antigen induces ≥ 4 log2 HI units per 1/50 dose).  The virus is inactivated with formalin and suspended in the aqueous phase of a water-in-oil emulsion. 

Warnings

  • Do not freeze or heat.
  • Destroy any unused vaccine as well as all vaccine containers in accordance with local waste disposal regulations, after use.
  • Do not store partially used bottles for future use and use the entire contents once the vaccine has been opened.
  • After opening, the contents of the bottle should be used within 3 hours.
  • Opened bottles not used should be destroyed.
  • Do not market chickens for slaughter purposes for at least 6 weeks after vaccination.
  • Ensure that chickens marketed do not have swellings at the vaccination site, as this may result in the condemnation of the chickens.
  • Do not mix the vaccine with other vaccines, except when administered simultaneously with live Newcastle Disease vaccines.
  • Vaccination of chickens in production may lead to a slight drop in egg production.
  • Accidental self-injection may lead to a severe local allergic reaction.  Consult a physician informing him/her that the vaccine contains a mineral oil.
  • KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, ANIMALS AND UNINFORMED PERSONS.
  • Although this vaccine has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons.  If this is suspected, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder. 

Precautions

  • Vaccinate healthy chickens only.
  • Observe aseptic precautions. Ensure that all vaccination equipment (needles, syringes, etc.) are clean and sterile prior to use.
  • Ensure that all equipment is kept clean and sterile during vaccination.
  • Avoid intravenous injection.
  • It is essential to adhere to the vaccination programme to maintain a satisfactory immune response.
  • It is good vaccination practice to avoid contact with the eyes, hands and clothing when handling the vaccine.

Directions For Use 
USE ONLY AS DIRECTED.

Recommended Vaccination Programme
NOBILIS® ND BROILER is administered by injection to day-old chickens, in combination with a live Newcastle Disease vaccine (eg. NOBILIS® ND CLONE 30), administered according to the manufacturer’s instructions.  The chickens vaccinated in this way will be protected against Newcastle Disease for up to 8 to 9 weeks of age.

Dosage and Administration

  • Inject 0,1 mℓ per broiler chicken intramuscularly into the thigh, or 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 injection.  This does not constitute permanent damage of the tissue, provided the vaccination has been carried out aseptically.
  • No interactions have been found when administered simultaneously with live Newcastle Disease vaccines.
