CHEVIVAC-S vaccine - (salmonella typhimurium live vaccine for pigeons) - (2x50 vaccine doses + 2x25ml suspension liquor)

Salmonella typhimurium live vaccine for pigeons

• Stimulates intracellular and humoral immune mechanisms
• Protects pigeons from Salmonellosis
• Duration of immunity: 12 months

See treatment and vaccination plan for active immunisation against Salmonellosis

Salmonella typhimurium live vaccine, lyophilised, for subcutaneous injection after re-suspension. 1 dose (= 0.5 ml of resuspended vaccine) contains:

At minimum: 5 x 10⁶ CFU of an attenuated Salmonella typhimurium strain

At maximum: 0.35 mg bovine serum protein

The dry substance, contained in a vial, is to be completely resuspended in the enclosed suspension liquor corresponding to the vaccination doses per vial (1 VD = 0.5 ml).

The immunisation is applied by injection of one dose per bird = 0.5 ml diluted in suspension liquor - subcutaneously dorsally into the neck (lower third of the neck):

Young birds (racing pigeons):           after weaning, at the beginning of the 4th week of life, at the earliest

Young birds (fancy pigeons)             1 week after weaning

Adult pigeons:                                    about 4 weeks before mating

Racing pigeons and fancy pigeons:  at minimum 3 weeks prior to competitions / exhibitions.

Vaccination should be repeated after 9 to 12 months.

Immunisation of the whole flock is recommended.

• Do not vaccinate birds in bad condition (runt, infestation with parasites); birds showing clinical symptoms; latent carriers.

Allergic or anaphylactic reactions may be provoked by sensibilisation after injection of disgenerous proteins. If chevivac - S is applied in an infected flock, vaccination disease and increased excretion of the field strain are possible.

• Store in a dark place at + 2 °C to + 8 °C / + 36 °F to 46 °F. Do not freeze!
• Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
