Title: Vaccine Protocol
Post by: dixieland on October 06, 2011, 05:44:10 PM

I am looking for some input from some of the seasoned breeders on here regarding vaccines-

I am looking for a good sound vaccine regimen for my birds. I don\'t believe in over vaccination, but I do believe that vaccines are important, especially when traveling, showing and being around other birds....
I am working with the State Ag rep to get my birds NPIP tested also....

So your input would be greatly appreciated!


Thank you  :D

We vaccinate all the chicks that remain here for Mareks before they leave the incubators and after all chicks that are sold are gone.

The entire flock is vaccinated for Laryngotracheitis \"LT\" when the last hatch is four weeks old and again six weeks later.

The entire flock is also vaccinated for Pox-around the Fourth Of July.  A couple weeks later this year due to hatching into June.

I suggest everyone check with someone in their area for what is needed for them.
