Description
Vaccine Overview
-
Type: Live, partially attenuated Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) — M.B. strain
-
Strain Classification: Intermediate virulence — designed for areas with prevalent virulent IBD strains and varying maternal antibody levels
-
Formulation: Freeze-dried, sealed vials produced in SPF (specific pathogen–free) embryonated eggs
Indications & Timing
-
Primary Use: Prevention of Gumboro disease in healthy chicks
-
Recommended Age for Vaccination: Day 10–12 post-hatch for optimal efficacy
Key Benefits
-
High Antigen Potency: Elevated antigen load ensures strong immunity and better protection
-
Single-Dose Ease: One vaccination typically suffices — efficient and cost-effective
-
Adapted to Field Challenge: Effective in areas with high virulent IBD strain presence and broad flock maternal antibody levels
-
Versatile Administration: Suitable for drinking-water vaccination or eye drops — practical for diverse farm setups
-
Manufacturing Quality: Produced under rigorous international/industry standards
-
Zero Retention Required: No withdrawal period for meat or eggs
Product Form & Packaging
Format | Details |
---|---|
Production | Freeze-dried, lyophilized vaccine sealed under vacuum |
Pack Sizes | Available in 200 D, 500 D, 1 000 D, and 2 000 D vials (10 vials per case) |
Storage | Refrigerate at 2–8 °C; protect from light |
Practical Notes on Administration
-
Water Vaccination: Reconstitute and dilute in sufficient cool water; neutralize chlorine where possible
-
Eye‑drop Method: Reconstitute with sterile diluent; apply one drop per chick
-
Timing Tip: By vaccinating at day 10–12, Gumboro (M.B.) virus effectively breaks through maternal antibodies — early immune activation
Why M.B. Strain Is Preferred
-
Offers robust protection in high‐challenge environments
-
Combines efficacy with minimal immune suppression and bursa damage (versus “hot” strains)
-
Consistently produces high breakthrough ELISA titers — enabling earlier protective immunity
