Nobilis® ILT

Description
Nobilis ILT is a live vaccine against Infectious Laryngotracheitis in poultry.

Composition
Active components per dose:
Live ILT strain Serva: >= 2.5 log¹⁰ EID₅₀

Formulation
A freeze-dried pellet.

Indications
Nobilis ILT is indicated for the preventive and emergency vaccination of chickens against Infectious Laryngotracheitis.

Vaccination
Intraocular vaccination of susceptible birds at the age of 4 to 6 weeks and re-vaccination at 14-16 weeks of age is recommended. In emergency, the birds may be vaccinated earlier, but should then always be re-vaccinated one month before the onset of lay, by the intraocular route. In case of an outbreak, emergency vaccination in all unvaccinated chickens will stop transmission of the disease, limiting ILT related losses.

Dosage
One dose per bird.

Method of administration
Intraocular.
Dissolve the vaccine in physiological saline solution (usually 30 ml per 1000 doses) and administer by means of a standardised dropper. One drop should be applied from a height of a few centimetres into one eye.
Note: For intranasal / intraocular administration a special diluent, Diluent Oculo Nasal is available. Keep the dropper bottle inverted, in a vertical position, to ensure the correct droplet size and to avoid loss of vaccine.

Withholding period
None

Presentation
Boxes of vials each containing 1000 or 2500 doses.

Storage
Store at a temperature of 2-8°C in the dark.

Contra-indications
When used according to instructions: None.
Nobilis ILT should not be administered with other vaccines which have the same target organ (respiratory tract.) The interval between such vaccinations should be 14 days.
