PoulShot B1-IB-VAC is a live combination vaccine for poultry that is developed by CAVAC (Choong Ang Vaccine Laboratories Co. Ltd) to provide immunity against both Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) and Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV). The vaccine contains the B1 strain of ND virus and the H120 strain of Infectious Bronchitis virus. It can be administered to day-old chicks. This poultry vaccine helps to establish early flock immunity.
Newcastle Disease (ND) and Infectious Bronchitis (IB) are among the most common viral diseases in poultry production. These diseases can cause severe respiratory problems, poor growth, reduced egg production, and significant economic losses. Effective vaccination is essential to protect poultry flocks from these infections.
Newcastle Disease
Newcastle Disease is a highly contagious viral infection. It is caused by Avian Paramyxovirus Type-1. The disease affects the respiratory system, digestive system, and nervous system of birds.
Common signs of disease in poultry include coughing, sneezing, gasping, greenish diarrhea, nervous symptoms, decreased feed intake, reduced egg production and mortality.

Infectious Bronchitis
Infectious Bronchitis is caused by the Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV). This is a coronavirus which affects poultry birds. This disease primarily attacks the respiratory tract but can also affect kidneys and the reproductive system.
In IB, birds may show coughing, nasal discharge, poor weight gain, reduced egg production and poor eggshell quality.
Features of PoultShot B1-IB-VAC
B1-IB-VAC contains low-pathogenic B1 and H120 vaccine strains that stimulate immunity without causing significant disease. This vaccine develops herd immunity and provides early protection against both ND and IB infections.
PoultShot B1-IB-VAC poultry vaccine is suitable for broilers, layers, and breeder flocks and can be administered at an early age.
Benefits of PoulShot B1-IB-VAC
This vaccine provides dual protection against two major poultry diseases through a single vaccination program. It reduces the disease outbreaks and mortality rates. It improves flock uniformity and supports better production performance.
PoultShot B1-IB-VAC stimulates the immunity at an early stage, which enables the birds to resist field virus challenges throughout the growing period.
Administration and Vaccination Methods
B1-IB-VAC may be administered through drinking water, eye drop, nasal instillation, or spray vaccination according. Proper vaccine handling, cold chain maintenance, and clean administration practices are essential to achieve optimal protection.
Intraocular/Intra-nasal Administration:
Dilute 1,000 doses of the vaccine in 30 ml of distilled water. Administer 0.03 ml per bird into the eye or nostril.
Spray Administration:
Dilute 1,000 doses of the vaccine in 70 ml of distilled water. Spray the solution evenly over birds from a height of approximately 50 cm. Maintain a droplet size of 80–120 μm to ensure effective distribution through the eyes and respiratory tract.
Drinking Water Administration:
Administer the vaccine using clean, chlorine-free drinking water. Ensure birds consume the vaccine containing water within the recommended time period.
