Colombovac Pmv Vaccine

[Guest IB]

Got my Colombovac for vaccinating birds against PMV. I make a habit of reading the label just to refresh my failing memory of these things, and came across a couple of new bits:-

 

Company that holds VLA Marketing Authorisation is Pfizer, based in Kent, England, and County Cork, Ireland. Manufactured in Holland.

 

Contraindications

Do not use in unhealthy pigeons.

Do not vaccinate during last 2 weeks prior to mating.

Do not use on birds in lay or within 4 weeks before the onset of the laying period.

Vaccination is safe in breeding birds provided they are vaccinated before the start of breeding.

No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine when used with any other veterinary medical product. A decision to use this vaccine before or after any other veterinary medical product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.

Do not mix with any other veterinary medical product.

very interesting ill pass this info on i honestly never thought of reading the label this really makes me think as a matter of fact i bought coloumbovac at blackpool any other year i use nobivac but i dont like it as it is oil based and can leave a greasy stain on the neck feathers that lasts for months and i was told coloumbovac is water based and therfore doesnt stain,but as i have never used it as yet i dont know.

good thing about that though, is it proves they have been done, some people I have spoken to say they dont inject after the bird is 2 years old as they dont need it

they need it done every year

[just ask me]

vaccinating birds against PMV should be done every year ive seen the devastation it can cause in a loft all birds should be done stock birds too even if they never fly out jmo

 

 

young birds should be done when weaning them off
