EFFECTIVE SALMONELLA PREVENTION IN POULTRY THROUGH LIVE VACCINE ADMINISTRATION
The administration of live poultry vaccines through drinking water is a long-established and widely used method to vaccinate large numbers of birds against major infectious pathogens – including Salmonella.
Applying AviPro Salmonella Duo vaccine via drinking water helps poultry producers conveniently achieve mass application from the chicks’ first day of life.
It also mimics the natural route of Salmonella infection in poultry, enhancing the immune response.
Although straightforward, this route of administration requires great care and attention to achieve successful Salmonella disease control.
All birds must have adequate access to the drinkers during the vaccination period, and the amount of water provided must be sufficient for all birds over the given period.
Once in solution, AviPro Salmonella Duo is stable for a number of hours, but several factors can impact the survival of the vaccine, or its ability to induce active immunity against Salmonella.
For successful vaccination of replacement layers, three doses should be given as follows:
AviPro Salmonella Duo is a live freeze-dried vaccine containing two attenuated strains,
Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium, that are reconstituted into the drinking water.

How to administer poultry Salmonella vaccines in drinking water
David Hodson from Rosehill Poultry, a poultry vaccine expert, demonstrates how to prepare live vaccines for administration in drinking water.
Dave also demonstrates how poultry producers can efficiently vaccinate birds against Salmonella with a dosing device.
