Thanks for this good article; I would like to ask about the vector vaccine of ILT ; Is it good enough to give good and long life protection and how many days needed after vaccine to give fully protection. You mentioned the negative effect of live vaccinated chicken when mixed with other non vaccinated; is it related to bkth TC and CEO vaccines of ILT.

Do you know if Ceba has a representative in the Philippines? Where we can buy the two brands of pox-vectored vaccines for ILT?

@Narayan Banik: If your farm is free from ILT Do not go for the live vaccine unless it is a pox vectored vaccine. Otherwise, do the live vaccination 2 weeks before the expected age of outbreak.
