First 5 in 1 poultry vaccine launched

Intervet has launched the UK’s first inactivated 5 in 1 vaccine for protection against some of the most common disease challenges encountered in layer and breeder units. NOBILIS^{® RT + IB}multi + ND + EDS protects against Avian Rhinotracheitis, Infectious Bronchitis (classical plus variant), Newcastle Disease and Egg Drop Syndrome.

NOBILIS® RT + IBmulti + ND + EDS also contains Avian Rhinotracheitis (RT) strain But1#8544, clone 30 strain of Newcastle Disease (ND) and Egg Drop Syndrome (EDS) ’76 virus. The effectiveness of the RT component has been proven in the field resulting in this component being the antigen of choice for RT control across continental Europe.

Vaccinating birds at 14-20 weeks of age, Intervet claims, will provide protection for at least one laying period. Birds to be vaccinated with the new vaccine should first be primed with RT, ND and IB live vaccines according to individual manufacturers’ recommendations.

The new vaccine is supplied in 1,000-dose 500ml bottles. For additional information please contact your poultry veterinarian or Intervet’s poultry department on 01908 685249, or email poultry.uk@intervet.com
