Gel droplet system delivers vaccines nutrients and probiotics to day-old chicks

摘要

One of the most important aspects of any vaccine that is used, is firstly to make sure the vaccine gets in the bird. Secondly, it is getting the vaccine to the right place in the bird where it can stimulate the required immune response. A number of day-old application methods exists.For years live respiratory vaccine application in the hatchery was done via water spray. The intention was to get the vaccine virus to be inhaled deeply as well as droplets to get in the eyes.Water sprayed vaccines also get ingested, but to a limited extent because it is only the few droplets that land on the eye or the vaccine that gets preened that can be ingested. Water spray application is thus not entirely effective for vaccines that primarily, or even exclusively, target the intestines.
