Unlimited renewal: May 2023
AN: 00345/2023
Onset of immunity: 14 days post-vaccination.
Duration of immunity: 63 days post-vaccination in an environment that permits
oocysts recycling.

Oral use.
The method of administration is by coarse spray.
Vaccination schedule:
One dose of vaccine (0.007 ml) from 1 day of age.
Administration:
The method of administration is by coarse spray by using a suitable device (volume
delivered: 28 ml/100 chicks, droplet size: 200 – 250 µm and working pressure: 1.5 to
3 bars).
Before starting to prepare the spray solution, ensure there is a clean container with
sufficient capacity for preparing the diluted vaccine suspension available. Dilute the
vaccine with the relevant volumes of the solvent (HIPRAMUNE T or HIPRACELL)
and water, as shown in the following table:

Shake the solvent (HIPRAMUNE T or HIPRACELL) vial. Dilute the content of the vial
with clean, room temperature water into an appropriate container.
Shake the vaccine (EVANT) vial and dilute the contents of it into the solvent and
water solution. A purplish suspension is obtained after dilution.
Fill the reservoir of the spraying device with all the vaccine suspension prepared.
Maintain the diluted vaccine suspension in continuous homogenisation by using a
magnetic stirrer while the vaccine is being administered via coarse spray to the
chicks.
To improve the uniformity of thevaccination, maintain the chicks inside the
transportation box for at least 1 hour in order to let them ingest all the vaccine
droplets.
After this time, place the chicks carefully into the litter and continue with regular
management practices.
The device should be cleaned after each use. See the manufacturer’s instructions to
ensure proper disinfection and maintenance of the device.

None.

The vaccine will not protect species other than chickens against coccidiosis and is
only effective against the Eimeria species indicated. This product is intended for the
vaccination of short-lived chickens only. No data is available on protection of longer-
lived birds such as future layers/breeders.
Vaccinate healthy animals only.

Special precautions for use in animals
Chickens must be strictly floor-reared in the first 3 weeks after vaccination.
In order to reduce field infections, it is recommended that all litter should be removed
and facilities and related equipment in contact with vaccinated chickens should be
cleaned between production cycles.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
Wash and disinfect hands and equipment after use.

No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this immunological veterinary
medicinal product when used with any other veterinary medicinal product. A decision
to use this immunological veterinary medicinal product before or after any other
veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.
No anticoccidial substances or other agents having anticoccidial activity via feed or
water should be used for at least 3 weeks following the vaccination of chickens with
this product otherwise the correct replication of the vaccine oocysts, and
consequently the development of a solid immunity, could be hindered. Additionally,
the duration of immunity depends on an environment that permits recycling of

oocysts, therefore a decision to use any anticoccidial substances in the period after 3
weeks post-vaccination should be made taking into account the potential negative
impact on the duration of immunity of this product.

Store and transport refrigerated (2 ºC – 8 ºC).
Do not freeze.
