MEFLUVAC™ H5+ND7 is an inactivated multivalent vaccine for immunization against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5 subtypes and Newcastle Disease.
Chickens.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses can develop from certain LPAI viruses, usually while they are circulating in poultry flocks.5 HPAI viruses can kill up to 90-100% of the flock, and cause epidemics that may spread rapidly, devastate the poultry industry and result in severe trade restrictions.5
The Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) classifications include pathotype categorization and genotype distinctions. The utilization of sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the F gene enables the classification of NDV strains into varied genotypes. Genotypes I and II primarily represent vaccine strains, while the more virulent NDVs are clustered within Genotypes III to X. Since the 1990s, Genotype VIII expanded across Asia, South Africa, and parts of Europe; while Genotype VII NDV strains have been frequently reported in Europe, China, the Middle East, and South Africa.1,2,3,4
Vaccination is the primary control measure used to minimize losses.6
For booster vaccination and protection of commercial poultry against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza subtypes and Newcastle Disease.
Birds can be vaccinated from seven days of age onwards, as per advice from your poultry veterinarian. Booster doses are recommend for long life birds and in case of high-risk seasons and areas.
Zero days.
The vaccine dose (0.5 mL/bird) should be administered subcutaneously in the lower part of the neck or intramuscularly into the chest muscles.
Before use, the vaccine should be shaken well to ensure proper mixing. Sterile injection equipment should be used to avoid contamination.
For optimal booster effects, the birds should be primed with live NDV vaccines.
MEFLUVAC™ H5+ND7 is packed and presented in 500 mL (1000 doses) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
