In no case cannot ignore the vaccination and save on it. Better in time to instill chickens with a high-quality vaccine than then to treat them and in the worst case losing all chickens. Many vaccinations, and a farther-novice is very easy to get confused in them. Let's deal with.
On 1 day after hatches, chicks are vaccinated from Marec's disease. This is one of the most important vaccinations, because the disease is not treated. It is important to make vaccinations on the first day, otherwise the drug will be no longer effective. Make intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.
For 1-2 days, the chickens are dropped by the drug from Salmonellaz, and on the 4 day - from mycoplasmosis. The procedure is repeated by 30, 50 and 60 days.
From 1 to 7 day, chicks are vaccinated from coccidiosis. The vaccine must be dissolved in water for drinking.
From 3 to 18 days they make vaccinations against Newcastle Diseases and Infectious Bronchitis. Vaccination is repeated in 1.5 months, then in 4.5 months and then every 6 months. The vaccine is sprayed with an aerosol or mixed into the water and chickens are dropped.
From 7 to 14 days of life and after 2 weeks, chickens vaccinate from Gamboro disease. The preparation is added to drinking water.
On 21 days you can already vaccinate chickens from the plague. This vaccination is repeated every year.
On 25 days, the chickens are dropped by a vaccine from laryngotracheita.
In the month of life, chicks are vaccinated from smallpox. The decision on re-vaccination takes the veterinarian.
I advise you to contact him if you just started breeding chickens. The doctor will draw up a vaccination schedule depending on the epidemiological situation in your region and will explain all the nuances. In the future, you can make vaccinations yourself. There is nothing complicated here.
But I would still entrust the vet from Marek's disease, because the injection is put in the neck. If you make it wrong, you can damage the nerve endings.
It is impossible to vaccinate patients with chicks. The drug can cause deterioration of well-being up to death. If feathered kids look sluggish and refuse feed, first disperse in cure them.
After vaccination, follow the well-being of young people. Chicks can eat badly, sneeze, coughing and move little. Sometimes the temperature slightly rises. Do not worry, it is an absolutely normal situation. The body of the chickens thus reacts to the vaccine.
Side effects last no longer than 5 days. If after this time the symptoms did not pass, call the veterinarian.
