Broiler flocks are facing more variable respiratory disease challenges that coincide with increasingly variable weather patterns. This new reality is leading poultry veterinarians and production managers to rethink their vaccination strategies. Brian Jordan, PhD, Zoetis, discusses options.
When vaccine decisions are grounded in sound diagnostics and veterinary guidance, but flock performance does not improve as expected, the vaccine itself may not be the problem. It may be time to review how the product was stored, prepared and applied. Abigail Graham, DVM, MAM, DACPV, Zoetis, explains how.
When faced with these emerging IBDV variant strains, it’s important to provide every chick the strongest possible immune start while keeping pace with a changing virus. Kalen Cookson, DVM, MAM, DAPVC, director of clinical research, Zoetis, provides vaccination strategies for poultry vets to consider.
Eric Shepherd, DVM, Zoetis, takes a look at potential IBD vaccination programs that may disrupt field virus pressure, restore disease control and support overall flock health.
