Evolving gel technology
A new vaccine-application approach shows advantages to help make on-farm, day-of-age vaccination easier to perform while increasing effectiveness.
Research shows using new technology to administer vaccines via gel droplets leads to faster administration and higher vaccination uptake. This ultimately boosts flock disease protection, according to Kelli Jones, DVM, MAM, diplomate ACPV, at Ceva Animal Health.
“We have found that 100% vaccine uptake is not uncommon with this approach. It has the potential to become a preferred option for poultry farms to ensure flock health and economic performance,” Jones said when presenting her data at the 2024 American Association of Avian Pathologists meeting.
