• Target Disease: Prevention of Fowl Pox virus, which causes wart-like lesions on the skin and/or diphtheritic lesions in the mouth/respiratory tract.
• Age of Administration: While effective in day-old chicks, it is often recommended for use at 4-5 weeks, with a booster at 14-15 weeks in high-risk areas.
• Method of Administration: Administered via wing web stab (wing-web puncture).
• Vaccination Check: A “take” (small swelling or scab) should be visible at the site of vaccination 7 to 10 days after application.
• Safety: The ‘BM’ strain is described as stress-free and suitable for young chicks and laying birds.
