Strengthening poultry health with MEVAC MULTI ADENO

MEVAC MULTI ADENO is designed to support poultry health by protecting chickens against serious viral infections that can affect productivity and survival

This inactivated tetravalent vaccine targets key strains of Fowl Adenovirus infection, which are widely present in poultry populations and linked to conditions such as Inclusion Body Hepatitis and Hydropericardium Syndrome.

Fowl adenoviruses are known to exist in multiple forms, grouped into several species and serotypes. These viruses can lead to a range of health issues in chickens, from respiratory problems to severe liver damage. Among them, inclusion body hepatitis is particularly concerning, as it affects both broilers and layers and can lead to noticeable losses on farms. Birds suffering from this condition may show signs such as reduced appetite, lethargy, increased water intake, and diarrhoea, along with higher mortality.

This vaccine works by preparing the bird’s immune system to respond effectively to infection. It contains inactivated strains of adenovirus linked to the most common disease causing types, helping to reduce both clinical symptoms and death rates. It is intended for use in chickens and can be given from seven days of age, depending on veterinary guidance.

The recommended dose is 0.5 ml per bird, administered either under the skin in the lower neck area or into the muscle of the thigh or breast. Proper handling is important, including shaking the bottle before use and ensuring sterile equipment is used during administration.

Care should be taken not to vaccinate birds that are already unwell or immunocompromised. The product should also not be mixed with other veterinary medicines. While no adverse effects have been reported even at higher doses, its safety during the laying period has not been fully confirmed.

To maintain effectiveness, the vaccine must be stored between 2°C and 8°C, away from direct sunlight, and must not be frozen. Once opened, it should be used within three hours.

Overall, MEVAC MULTI ADENO offers a practical approach to managing viral challenges in poultry, helping farmers maintain healthier flocks and more stable production.
