Composition – Live-attenuated Newcastle Disease Virus VG/GA [ME/NDV2] strain. Each dose contains ≥ 6.5 log10 EID50. Indications – Active immunization to reduce mortality and clinical signs associated with Newcastle Disease. Vaccination Program – Birds can be vaccinated from the first day of age onwards in endemic areas, as per advice from your poultry veterinarian. The vaccine virus can spread to unvaccinated birds however this does not induce any sign of disease. Do not mix with any other veterinary medicinal product. Vaccination crew should wear respiratory and eye protection when handling the vaccine. Vaccine shall be reconstituted with sterile water free from disinfectant and/or antiseptic.   Administration – The vaccine should be reconstituted and administered either via eye drop, spray, or drinking water routes.
  • Eye drop: Dilute 1,000 doses into 3 to 5 ml of non-chlorinated drinking water and subsequently subdilute this into 30-50 ml of non-chlorinated drinking water. Use a calibrated dropper to distribute 30-50 μl-drops. Place one drop of the vaccine solution on the eye of each bird, allow the drop to spread, and release the bird.
  • Spray vaccination: Spray the vaccine solution above the birds using a spray capable of producing micro-droplets (mean diameter 80-100 μm). Make sure that birds are closely confined together during spraying. The ventilation system of the poultry house should be inoperative during the spray administration.
  • Drinking water: When using tap water, treat all water with skimmed milk powder at a rate of 2.5 g per liter to neutralize traces of chlorine. Distribute the vaccine solution at the time of use to birds. Birds should be deprived of water for two hours before vaccination.
  MEVAC™ ND ELITE is packed and presented in vials containing a lyophilisate pellet for reconstitution (500, 1,000, 2,500 and 5,000 doses).
