Cevac New L 1000d

Cevac New L 1000d is a veterinary vaccine designed to protect poultry, particularly chickens, from infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), a viral disease caused by the Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus (ILTV). This vaccine is part of a preventive health program to help ensure the health and productivity of poultry flocks, especially in commercial settings.

Key Features:

• Vaccine Type: Inactivated (killed) vaccine
• Target Species: Chickens
• Disease Prevented: Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILT)

Description:

• Cevac New L 1000d is a suspension containing an inactivated strain of the Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus (ILTV). The vaccine stimulates the poultry’s immune system to generate a protective response without causing disease, thereby protecting them against ILT.
• It is designed to be administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously, offering ease of use for large flocks and ensuring optimal disease prevention in commercial and backyard poultry operations.

Indications:

• Prevention of Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILT): Cevac New L 1000d helps prevent ILT, which can cause severe respiratory distress, decreased egg production, and even death in poultry flocks. The virus primarily affects the larynx and trachea, leading to difficult breathing and coughing.
• Vaccination Schedule: This vaccine is typically administered to chicks at a young age, usually around 1 day to 1 week old, or as recommended by a veterinarian based on the flock’s health history and local risk of disease outbreaks.

Dosage & Administration:

• Dosage:
  • The recommended dose for chickens is typically 0.5 mL per bird, administered intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SQ).
• Administration Method:
  • It is usually given through intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, following the correct technique to avoid injury to the bird.
• Re-vaccination: The vaccination schedule may vary, and in some cases, booster vaccinations may be required to maintain long-term immunity, especially in high-risk areas or flocks with a history of ILT.

Precautions:

• Veterinary Consultation: Always consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule and technique for your flock.
• Proper Storage: Cevac New L 1000d should be stored according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, usually at a temperature range of 2°C to 8°C. The vaccine should be kept in the dark and protected from freezing.
• Do Not Use in Sick or Weak Birds: Do not vaccinate birds that are ill or showing symptoms of disease, as vaccination may not be effective or could cause further complications.
• Disposal of Used Vials and Needles: Used vaccine vials and needles should be disposed of properly to avoid contamination and the spread of disease.

Storage Instructions:

• Storage Temperature: Store between 2°C and 8°C.
• Protect from Light: Keep the vaccine in a dark place to maintain its efficacy.
• Avoid Freezing: Freezing the vaccine can render it ineffective, so it should be kept at a stable, cool temperature.

Side Effects:

• Mild Reactions: As with any vaccine, mild reactions such as swelling at the injection site or slight fever may occur. These reactions are usually short-lived and should resolve within a few days.
• Severe Reactions: Although rare, any unusual reactions such as difficulty breathing, extreme swelling, or signs of illness should be reported to a veterinarian immediately.

Conclusion:

Cevac New L 1000d is an effective and reliable tool for protecting poultry against Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILT), a disease that can have devastating effects on poultry health and production. By incorporating this vaccine into a regular vaccination program, poultry farmers can reduce the risk of ILT outbreaks and ensure healthier, more productive flocks. Always follow the recommended administration and consult with a veterinarian for best practices in flock health management.
