DOSAGE FOR EACH SPECIES, ROUTE(S) AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Individual application:
200 vaccine doses should be diluted in 10 ml of water for injection. Diluted vaccine is dripped on the conjunctival mucosa of individual birds.
Mass spray application:
The vaccine is administered diluted with water for injection, using a spray gun generating micro-droplets.
1000 vaccine doses should be diluted in 200-250 ml of water for injection.
Mass application to drinking water:
The vaccine is administered dissolved in a quantity of drinking water that can be drunk by the poultry within 1 to 2 hours after dilution of the vaccine.
For oral administration the vaccine can be diluted only in cold clean drinking water free of antiseptics and disinfectants. Increased temperature and the content of antiseptics and disinfectants in water reduce significantly the volume of the vaccine virus in a dose.
Breedingdomestic fowls should be revaccinated a month after the first vaccination and before moving to lay at the age of 14 to 16 weeks. Layers should be revaccinated at intervals of three to five months,preferably on the basis of serological tests.
ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION
Spray vaccination ensures better immunity than the vaccine in drinking water.Domestic fowls should be vaccinated from 14 days of age by application of a coarse spray, sprayed evenly over an appropriate number of poultry from a distance of 30-50 cm. Too fine microdroplets (aerosolmist) cause inhalation of the vaccine virus into the lower airways and, consequently, development of the respiratory disease. The administration of aerosol therapy is suitable only for revaccination of older poultry and spray mist is generated through a spray gun in the area above the poultry.

The avian Newcastle disease vaccine virus strain La Sota, SL 93 reproduces and spreads in the bodies of vaccinateddomestic fowls after administration. Several days after vaccination the vaccine virus is excreted, to a limited extent, into the environment whereit can attack other susceptible animals. Safety studies have shown that the vaccine virus is safe for target animals and passaging on the target animal does not increase its virulence or produce clinical signs of the disease. Therefore, it is not necessary to take any special veterinary and animal husbandry measures in the context of vaccination.
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when administered concurrentlywith other veterinary medicinal products. Decision about using this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medicinal product must be based on consideration of individual cases.
