Active components
– Inactivated IB strain M41.
– Inactivated IB strain D274.

Indications
The vaccine is recommended for the booster vaccination of layers and breeding stock for protection against the Massachusetts and D207/D274 (and related) serotypes of Infectious Bronchitis, Newcastle Disease and for protection against Egg Drop Syndrome ’76 throughout the laying period. For use in areas where the IB serotypes which are covered by the vaccine strains are known to be prevalent.

Vaccination
Nobilis IB multi + ND + EDS should be given to birds not less than 4 weeks before the expected onset of lay. For an optimal booster effect, the birds must be primed with live vaccines against Infectious Bronchitis and Newcastle Disease. For priming against IB both the live Massachusetts (Nobilis IB Ma5 or Nobilis IB H120) and the D274 (Nobilis IB D274) should be used. These live vaccines should be given with an interval of at least 14 days between them. The best results will be obtained if vaccination with inactivated vaccine takes place 6 or more weeks after administration of the live primer but in no circumstances should this be carried out earlier than 4 weeks after priming.
