MAREK’S VACCINATION Recommended for ALL laying hens. Marek's disease (MD) is an economically significant neoplastic disease of poultry. MD almost devastated the poultry industry in the 1960’s but the disease was brought under control after Marek's disease herpes virus (MDV) was identified and vaccines were developed. There is no treatment for Marek’s disease, and vaccination of day old chicks is the most dependable way to prevent the disease.
COCCIDIOSIS VACCINE An effective alternative to anticoccidal drugs, this onetime vaccination delivers protective immunity throughout the life of the bird, improving uniformity and feed conversion. For the vaccine to be effective, chicks must have access to their droppings. NOTE: Immucox is an alternative to medicated starter. If you should accidentally feed medicated starter in the first 4 weeks, do not stop as the anticoccidial drug in the feed will have killed the vaccine.
