Duck Plague Virus (DPV) vaccine is indicated for active immunization of healthy ducks and geese to prevent Duck Viral Enteritis (DVE).

INDICATIONS

• Active Immunization: Used for the active immunization of susceptible waterfowl species, including ducks, geese, and swans, against Duck Plague.
• High-Risk Flocks: Recommended for use in flocks where Duck Plague has already been diagnosed or in those at high risk of exposure due to potential virus introduction.
• Breeding Flocks: Specifically indicated to provide high levels of specific immunity in breeder ducks to maintain health throughout the laying period.
• Outbreak Management: It can be administered to all birds over two weeks of age during an outbreak to elicit rapid protection. 

ADMINISTRATION

• Route: Subcutaneous injection (typically under the skin of the neck).
• Breeding Flocks: Two injections of 1 ml each, administered approximately 8 and 4 weeks (or 4 and 2 weeks) before the beginning of the laying period.
• Affected Flocks: All ducks older than two or three weeks should be vaccinated twice, with an interval of two to three weeks between doses.
• Broilers/Meat Ducks: A single vaccination is generally sufficient for birds older than two weeks.
