Composition
Active components per dose:
Live Reovirus strain 1133: >= 3.1 log¹⁰ TCID₅₀

Formulation
A freeze-dried pellet.

Indications
For the immunization of chickens against Reovirus infections.

Vaccination
Protection against Reovirus involves the maternal transfer of antibody through the yolk to the progeny, so an integrated programme using both inactivated and modified live virus vaccines is recommended. In areas of high exposure, chicks can become susceptible during the first weeks of life, and early vaccination becomes mandatory. In these areas, vaccination should begin at 7 days of age. Re-vaccination is recommended at 5 to 7 weeks of age and again at 9 to 11 weeks. In areas where there is less exposure, vaccination should be carried out at 5 to 7 weeks of age and again at 9 to 11 weeks. To complete this programme for breeding birds, the administration of an inactivated Reovirus vaccine is recommended between 16 to 18 weeks of age.

Dosage
0.2 ml per bird.

Method of administration
Subcutaneously in the back of the neck or intramuscularly in the breast muscle or thigh.
