Please help out, I have completed administering antibiotics today.Now they are 7 days old, I was told to allow the chick rests 2 to 3 days before giving them gumboro vac.

My questions are:
1. Am I on course?
2. How do I give gumboro vac?
3 what time of the day should them and should I withdraw water before giving them?
4.What should I give them the following day after gumbro vac.

Looking forward to your assistance.
Thanks abunch!

so many factors could be responsible for vaccine
failure, ranging from impure water,vaccine
source, method of administration, dose
administered and of course the environmental
factor
To guide against the water impurity, dissolve
considerable quantity of skimmed milk in the
water, this is to neutralize the likely ions or
contaminant in the water.
To guide against vaccine failure as a result of
source, do not patronize only one vet store, the
reason why vaccination is mostly done twice is
to make up for unvaccinated birds, so it
becomes important to patronize at least 2
quality vet shop such that if one of the vaccines
fail the other can make up for the failed one.
To guide against vaccine failure as a result of
administration, you need to know that the
vaccine in itself are living organisms that have
been conditioned to an inconvenience mode and
as such bad administration is like you are
inoculating the disease into the bird's system,
having known this there's the need to prepare a
good disinfectant incase of spillage,take about 5
mil of skimmed milk solution and release it all
into the vaccine bottle and shake to ensure that
the vaccine is well dissolved then take the
needed quantity according to your stock.
Dose to be administered is the number of birds
u v got, if u have 250 birds don't manage 200
doses it must be complete for effective
performance.
Good knowledge of the environment is vital in a
successfull vaccination,birds have a deep body
tempetature of 40.5-42c , coupled with the kind
of hot weather we have now, it becomes very
important to ensure that the water to be used is
chilled such that the temperature of the vaccine
is still maintained until it reaches the bird
system where it is expected to dissociate and
starts combating pathogens that would want to
cause that disease.
It should be mentioned as well that antibiotics
should not be used a day before vaccination so
as not to destroy the live organisms.

so many factors could be responsible.
1. Periodic boaster Laxota 4:6weeks
2. periodic deworming. 6:8wks
4. anti coccidial treatment. shd be periodic if on deep litres.
4. Regular treatment with antibiotics such as Neoceryl to wade off diseases. from the last forum i attended. i discovered that laying birds could be exposed to Fowl Typhoid minimum 2times a month
5. Regular vitamins and amino ac

..
If feed consumptn drop, it is a sign of hidden illness that's brooding. I'll say u give them antibiotics. When qwas the last time u gave them?
..
Another thing. Do u normally cover the open sides at night? If not pls do so bc cold is toooooooo muuuuch and it will definitely affect them badly. Sleeping on bare cement without bedding will also chill them. Perches are good in this situatn.

If the birds still have lice, definitely u must do something about it, hence, the production will not peak.
I advice you repeat the ivermectin using other brand aside the one you have tried. U should also consider doping them in MB50 solution same day(though a stressful operation) but it worked for me. it will crash the production but be sure it will build up steadily and you will enjoy the fruit of ur labour. Pls give the good vitamins after the treatment (promine)
