Description
This vaccine is a freeze-dried live attenuated virus of Infectious Bursal Disease
(IBDV) produced in SPF em bryonated chick en eggs . The M.B. vaccine strain is
an intermediate virus
Indications
M.B. vaccine is used for the immunization of healthy breeder, layer and broiler
chickens against Gumboro Disease.
Since m aternal antibodies against IBDV neutralize live Gum boro vaccines,
chicks should be vaccinated in consideration of their maternal antibody leve l
(please consult with your Phibro Vaccine rep). A single dose vaccination is
usually enough for immunization of broilers slaughtered at 6-8 week s of age.
M.B. vaccine is also used as prim er for inactivated Gumboro vaccines in layers
and breeders.
