Nobilis Salenvac

Nobilis Salenvac is an inactivated vaccine for the vaccination of poultry against Salmonella Enteritidis infection.

Description

• Inactivated vaccine poultry vaccine
• Contains formalin killed cells of Salmonella Enteritidis phage type 4
• Aluminium hydroxide gel as adjuvant
• Produced with IRP technology

Indication

• Induces active immunity against S. Enteritidis in layers and breeders
• Passive immunity will be transferred via the egg to the progeny (see clinical trial data)
• Aimed at reduction of Salmonella in eggs and poultry meat.

Administration

• Intramuscular injection into the leg or breast muscle.
• The breast muscle is recommended for broiler breeders to avoid the risk of leg injuries
  

Vaccination schedule

• Normal vaccination schedule: Two vaccinations of 1 dose of 0.5 ml with an interval of 4 to 6 weeks. The recommended age for vaccination is 10-12 weeks for the first and 14 to 18 weeks for the second vaccination.
• High risk of early infection: The vaccine has been shown to be efficaceous at day old (0.1 ml) with a repeated dose (0.5 ml) 4 weeks later. This should be followed up with a booster dose at 14-18 weeks of age.
  

Protection

• Protection develops after 2nd vaccination
• Full protection about 2 weeks after completion of regime
• Last vaccination should therefore be done at least 2 weeks prior to transfer, because infection is likely to occur during or directly after transfer.
