OUR LIVE VACCINE RANGE
Live vaccines are the most effective type of vaccine for a rapid, strong, long-lasting immune response.
They can be administered by injection, spray/ fog, in the water, or by eye drops (intraorbitally).
However, live vaccines come with their own problems. Because they contain living organisms, they must be handled with care. Excessive heat, sunlight, freezing, chlorinated water, and other conditions can kill off live organisms, rendering them useless.
In addition, if live vaccines are not handled with proper biosecurity, the organism may spread to numerous other avian species, causing (sometimes severe) reactions.
Finally, while rare, the organism could revert back to the “wild” form, causing the disease.
