HuveGuard MMAT Suspension for Oral Suspension for Chickens

Vaccinate healthy animals only.
The vaccine contains live coccidian oocysts and is dependent upon replication
of the vaccinal strains within the chickens for building up of immunity.
It is common to find oocysts in the gastro-intestinal tract of vaccinated birds
from 1-3 weeks or more after vaccination. These oocysts are most likely to be
vaccinal oocysts which recycle in the birds via the litter. Recycling of oocysts is
necessary for the development of immunity and for continued protection.
Since the protection against coccidial infection following vaccination is
enhanced by natural challenge, access to any therapeutic agents having anti-
coccidial activity at any time following vaccination can adversely affect the
development of immunity. This is important throughout the life of the chicken.

Special precautions for use in animals
Chickens must be strictly floor-reared on litter.
To reduce the chance of coccidial challenge before the onset of immunity, litter
should be removed, and chicken housing should be thoroughly cleaned
between rearing cycles.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
Wash and disinfect hands and equipment after use.
When spraying the vaccine onto chicks or onto feed, personal protective
equipment consisting of a well-fitting mask and eye protection should be worn
by the operator.
