A. Recommendations are for production areas where the diseases listed are common. In
addition, other vaccinations may be advisable if previous experience indicates prevalence
of certain diseases in the area. These may include Turkey Bordetellosis eye drop vaccine
at 1 day old and water or spray at week old, or bacterin; paramyxovirus 3 and influenza A
(prevalent hemagglutinin) at 26-28 and 40 week old; erysipelas- live or killed products
might be required for market turkeys, and repeated vaccinations might be required for
breeders, and salmonellosis bacterins at 24 and 28 week old.
B. Recommended age at vaccination is an approximation.
C. ND= Newcastle Disease
D. Spray ND vaccines should not be used for birds suffering from respiratory disease; in
such cases and at that age, the mild B1-B1 strain vaccine could be used in water. Timing
of vaccination depends on maternal antibody levels.
E. DW= drinking water, WW= wing wen stab
F. Live fowl cholera vaccines should be used in healthy flocks.
VACCINATION PROGRAM FOR DUCK BREEDERS
AGE VACCINE ROUTE TYPE
1 day old Riemerella Aerosol Live vaccine
anatipestifer
10-14 days Riemerella Drinking water Live vaccine
anatipestifer
3 week Riemerella SC Bacterin

4 week Duck viral hepatitis SC Live vaccine (Type 1)
4 week Duck viral enteritis SC Live vaccine
10 and 20 week Riemerella SC Bacterin
anatipestifer
10 and 20 week Duck viral hepatitis SC Killed virus vaccine
(Type 1)
A. A live, avirulent vaccine consisting of the three major serotypes (1,2 and 5) of R
anatipestifer
B. A formalin- inactivated cell suspension of the three major serotypes (1.2 and 5) of R
anatipestifer, Bacterins and killed virus vaccines are administered SC in the neck.
C. A modified- live virus vaccine of chick embryo origin.
D. White Pekin breeder ducks normally start egg production at 24 weeks of age. Egg
production can be accelerated or delayed and breeder vaccination should be completed
before the onset of egg production to optimize the passage of parental immunity to the
progeny.
VACCINATION PROGRAM FOR COMMERCIAL DUCKLINGS

anatipestifer
10-14 days Riemerella Drinking water Live vaccine
anatipestifer
3 week Riemerella SC
anatipestifer
A. A live, avirulent vaccine consisting of the three major serotypes (1,2 and 5) of R
anatipestifer
B. A formalin- inactivated cell suspension of the three major serotypes (1.2 and 5) of R
anatipestifer is recommended for preventive immunization on farms where the disease is
endemic or epidemic. An Escherichia coli bacterin can also be used where field challenge
warrants. Ducklings should not be vaccinated within 21 days of slaughter.
