Vaccine administration
From 10 weeks-of-age until 4 weeks prior to the onset of lay administer AE-Vac™ via drinking water or wing-web.
Precautions
Store refrigerated at 2 – 7 °C. Do not allow to freeze. Do not expose to disinfectants or heat.
In accordance with the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) best practice, all susceptible birds on site should be vaccinated concurrently with the dose recommended by the manufacturer.
Administration of live AE vaccine to flocks in lay may result in a transient decrease in egg production for up to 14 days.
Do not administer live AE vaccine to breeders within 4 weeks of onset of lay or during egg production. The AE virus is shed in faeces and transmitted vertically in eggs for up to 4 weeks following vaccination. To avoid clinical AE in the progeny, eggs for hatching should not be taken from the flock until 4 weeks have elapsed following vaccination.
Birds less than 8 weeks-of-age exposed to live AE vaccine may display clinical neurological disease.
