Bursaplex®

Description:
Bursaplex is a virus-antibody complex vaccine that contains a live strain of bursal disease virus of chicken embryo origin in conjunction with bursal disease antiserum.

Indication:
Bursaplex is for vaccination of healthy chickens as an aid in preventing infectious bursal disease. It is recommended for subcutaneous injection of chickens at one day of age or in ovo vaccination of 18- to 19-day-old, embryonated chicken eggs using the Embrex® Inovoject® System. It is essential that the birds be maintained under good environmental conditions and that exposure to disease viruses be reduced as much as possible.

  • In Ovo Administration
    1. Sanitize the Embrex Inovoject System before and after use
    2. Inject a 0.05-mL dose into each embryonated egg.
    3. Use the entire contents of the vaccine container within one hour after mixing.

    Important : Failure to follow instructions may result in personal injury and embryonic morbidity/mortality.

    Subcutaneous Injection Method:
    1. Use a sterile automatic syringe with a 20-22 gauge, 3/8-1/2” needle, set to accurately deliver 0.2 mL. Check the accuracy of delivery several times throughout vaccination.
    2. Hold the chicken by the back of the neck, just below the head. The loose skin in this area is raised by gently pinching with the thumb and forefinger. Insert the needle beneath the skin directing it away from the head. Inject 0.2 mL per chick and avoid hitting muscles and bones in the neck.
    3. Use entire contents of the vaccine within one hour of mixing.

    Important : Sterilize vaccinating equipment by autoclaving 15 minutes at 121°C or by boiling in water for 20 minutes. Never allow any chemical disinfectant to come in contact with vaccinating equipment
