Title: What to vaccinate for
Post by: Korfus Kluckers on June 30, 2008, 06:55:56 PM

Im planning on vaccinating for fowl pox, and LT and I have been vaccinating all the chicks for Marek\'s. Im going to be showing and I have heard of flock in my area with these diseases. So, it really scares me and I want to try to prevent my flock from catching any of these. What do you all do? What about IB, is it just better to treat or just vaccinate?

We vaccinate for Mareks at hatching.  LT at four weeks and again at 10 weeks using the LTI-VAX at one drop in the nose.  All the older breeding flock are also vaccinated at the same time as the last hatch for LT.  Pox is vaccinated for on the Fourth of July week-end.  This gives plenty of time. for a withdrawl before being mixed with unvaccinated birds at our first show which is our local the last of September.
