23. • Mass applications
• Spray

• Individual bird application
• Intramuscular
• Intraocular (Eye drop)
• Intranasal (Nose drop)
• Wing web stab
• Subcutaneous
24. Spray Vaccination
• Can be done at Hatchery or at Farm
• At Hatchery
• To give IB and ND
• Use spray cabinet or hand held spray
• Important point
• Droplet size.

30. How much water to use
• Amount of water= No. of birds X Age of birds in days
1000
Example: For 1000 chicks at 21 days
Water needed= 1000 x 21
1000
= 21 litres
31. Eye drop and Nose drop

of reconstitution.
• Use syringe to draw diluent and inject into vaccine vial.
• Shake the mixture and place the dosing nozzle.
32. Administering
• The drop must be placed into eye or nasal cavity and get absorbed for
vaccination to be said to be successful.
• NB: WAIT A FEW SECONDS AFTER ADMINISTERING THE DROP
BEFORE YOU RELEASE THE BIRD.

you alternate them to avoid the vaccine getting warm in the hands.
• Put those not in use in ice pack which must be near the vaccinator.

• Mix vaccine as stated for eye drop
• Administer in the centre of the wing web using wing web applicator.
• Dip the applicator in the vaccine and pierce the web on the underside of the
wing.
