Why should we vaccinate?

Vaccination is commonly used in commercial poultry and increasingly in backyard birds to control disease. Vaccines mimic natural infection, allowing the birds to build up immunity to the disease without any of the harmful effects. This way you can prevent your birds getting the disease It is very important to remember that the success of the vaccination depends on good vaccination technique. Vaccines are very vulnerable and are therefore easily destroyed.

What diseases can I vaccinate against?

There are a range of diseases which can be vaccinated against but below are some of the most common ones.

• Mareks Disease
• Infectious Bronchitis (IB)
• Avian RhinoTracheitis (ART)
• Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG)

The need to vaccinate, and which disease you should vaccinate against will depend on your holding, the number of birds you are keeping and whether or not you buy in or sell out birds.
