Vaccination Procedure

Rx
  1. Withdraw chlorine 12 hours prior to vaccination or medication.
  2. Neutralize with milk replacer for 3 hours prior to start of vaccination.
  3. Raise water lines out of birds' reach for up to 3 hours in cool weather and as short as a half hour in hot weather.
  4. At the end of the withdrawal time, mix the vaccination in the proportion indicated on the packaging (if it is powder, make sure it is completely dissolved). NOTE: Add food color dye to mixture if there is no color to the vaccine or see #6 for quantity of water in pipe to drain.
  5. Put the medicator tube into the bucket and lower the water lines to the proper height.
  6. Flush the lines until you see the color at the end of the line or flush 1.4 gallons (5.3 L) per 10 FT piece of pipe if there is no color. This will give the birds cooler water and ensure the maximum effectiveness of the medication.
  7. When the vaccination bucket is empty, fill it with clean water to flush the medicator.
  8. After the medicator is flushed, don't forget to bypass the medicator with the ballvalves.
