Cevac Meta L Lyophilisate for Oculonasal Suspension for Chickens

For oculonasal use
One dose of the vaccine should be administered by eye-drop from 1 day of age or by
coarse spray from 5 weeks of age.
Eye-drop application:
The vaccine should be dissolved in distilled water or alternatively in cool, clean
chlorine free water. The appropriate number of vials should be opened and
reconstituted. 30 ml of water can be calculated for each 1000 dose of vaccine.
Hold the chicken to be vaccinated with the head tilted to one side. Administer one drop
(around 0.03 ml) of dissolved vaccine onto the eye of the bird.
Spraying:
The vaccine should be dissolved in distilled water or alternatively in cool, clean chlorine
free water. The appropriate number of vials should be opened and reconstituted. The
volume of water for reconstitution should be sufficient to ensure an even distribution
when sprayed onto the chickens. This will vary according to the age of the chickens
being vaccinated and the management system, but 400-500 ml of water can be
calculated for each 1000 dose. The vaccine suspension should be spread evenly over
the appropriate number of chickens, at a distance of 30-40 cm. Vaccination is
recommended in the form of coarse spray assuring a droplet size of 100-150 The
spray apparatus should be free from sediments and corrosion traces or disinfectants.
For effective vaccine distribution, make sure that birds are closely confined together,
preferably in dimmed light, during spraying.
Depending on housing conditions ventilation should be switched off during and after
vaccination in order to avoid turbulences.
