Ceva Santé Animale Vectormune AI

Ceva Santé Animale offers Vectormune AI, which uses a frozen Marek’s vaccine (HVT) to express a key protective H5N1 Avian Influenza antigen (HA protein) for use in chickens. Once injected in the bird, the Marek’s HVT vaccine replicates and the HA gene is expressed inducing immunity against the field virus. Vectormune AI prevents clinical signs and mortality, and reduces the shedding of the challenge virus considering both level of re-excretion and percentage of re-excreting birds. Vectormune AI is injected in to day-old chicks by subcutaneous route in the back of the neck: 0.2ml per bird.
