Lyophilisate for use in drinking water for chickens
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each dose contains:
Active substance:
Live, attenuated Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium bacteria, strain ST CAL 16 Str+/Rif+/Enr-,1-6 x 108 CFU*
*CFU: Colony Forming Units
CLINICAL INFORMATION
Target species
Chickens (future layers and breeders)
Indications for use for each target species
Active immunisation of chickens (future layers and breeders) to reduce faecal excretion and colonisation of internal organs with Salmonella Typhimurium field strains.
Onset of immunity: 14 days after first vaccination.
Duration of immunity: 61 weeks after the third vaccination, when used according to the recommended vaccination schedule.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Since the vaccine strain consists of live bacteria, simultaneous use of chemotherapeutics, which are effective against Salmonella should be avoided. However, if this is inevitable, the flock must be re-immunised. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any chemotherapeutic treatment needs to be taken on a case-by-case basis.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medicinal product, so a decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case-by-case basis.
Studies presented with a combined formulation of PRIMUN Salmonella E+T vaccine indicates that no negative interactions have been shown.
Administration routes and dosage
For oral use after resuspension in drinking water.
Recommended vaccination scheme:
One dose from one day of age (in the first 72 hours), followed by a second vaccination at 6 to 8 weeks of age and a third vaccination at 14-18 weeks, but at least 4 weeks before the onset of the laying period.
