  Drinking water method

• - Do not use a disinfectant in the drinking water for a period of 48 hours prior to 24 hours after vaccination. If a chlorine pump is used, switch it off for the same period of time.

• - The drinkers should be thoroughly cleaned before vaccination without disinfectant.

• - Water withholding period may vary according to age of birds and weather conditions (average 1 to 2 hours).

• - Prepare the required volume of water that will be consumed by the chicken in 2 hours. This volume may change according to the weather and environmental conditions.

  Age	Amount of water/1000 chicken
  10-12 days	10 liters
  13-18 days	15 liters
  19-26 days	25-30 liters
  Above 8 weeks	40 liters or volume of water that will consumed by chicken in 2 hours

• - Mix 2.5 gm of skimmed milk powder per liter of water as an aid in preserving the virus activity and neutralize the chlorine. Do not use water containing high concentration of metal ions.

• - Mix the vaccine with clean, cool, non-chlorinated water by opening the vial under the water and let stand for 10 minutes.

• - For nipple lines open the water system, lower the lines up to the normal height of the birds and check distribution throughout the house. When the tank is empty fill it with a solution of skimmed milk powder, let it stand for 10 minutes and then open the water system to flush out the remaining vaccine solution in the pipe. Vaccine solution can be distributed also manually using plastic watering cans.
