INDICATIONS
A live attenuated freeze-dried vaccine containing chicken anaemia vaccine virus. CAV P4 is intended for the immunisation of healthy future breeding chickens against chicken anaemia.
COMPOSITION
Each 1 ml dose contains at least 2,3 log10 TCID50 of chicken anaemia vaccine virus propagated on embryonated eggs. The freeze-dried pellet contains stabilisers.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE – USE ONLY AS DIRECTED
ADMINISTRATION
CAV P4 can be administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, or via the wing-web method.
For intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, reconstitute the vaccine with Intervet’s diluent Dilavia and administer 0,2 ml per chicken.
RECOMMENDED VACCINATION PROGRAMME
The optimum time and method of administration depend largely upon the local situation. Therefore, the advice of a veterinarian should be sought. Under no circumstances should the vaccine be administered under 6 weeks of age.
To make sure that adequate antibody levels are built up at the onset of lay, breeding chickens have to be vaccinated at least 6 weeks before this onset.
Vaccination against CAV can be combined with vaccination against Reovirus (intramuscular or subcutaneous route) or with vaccination against fowl pox (wing-web route).
IMMUNITY
The induction of high neutralising antibody levels is generally dependent on the health and condition of the chickens. Hygiene and management are also important in the post-vaccination period. Breeding chickens must be vaccinated at least 6 weeks before the onset of lay.
STORAGE
- Store in the dark between 2 °C and 8 °C.
