Nobilis® IB+G+ND

Description
Nobilis IB + G + ND is an inactivated combined vaccine for the immunisation of chickens against Infectious Bronchitis (serotype Massachusetts), Gumboro Disease (Infectious Bursal Disease) and Newcastle Disease.

Composition
Active components
– Inactivated IB strain M41.
– Inactivated Gumboro strain D78.
– Inactivated ND Clone 30

Formulation
Water-in-oil emulsion.

Indications
The vaccine is recommended for breeding stock: as a booster vaccination to protect against Newcastle Disease and the Massachusetts serotype of Infectious Bronchitis, and to induce high maternal antibody levels against Infectious Bursal Disease in their offspring.

Vaccination
Nobilis IB + G + ND should be given to birds not less than 4 weeks before the expected onset of lay. For an optimal booster effect, the birds must be primed with live vaccine against Infectious Bronchitis, Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bursal Disease. For priming against IB the live Massachusetts (Nobilis IB Ma5 or Nobilis IB H120) should be used. The best results will be obtained if vaccination with inactivated vaccine takes places 6 or more weeks after administration of the live primer but in no circumstances should this be carried out earlier than 4 weeks after priming.
