Besides this, never keep the vaccine for a long time after opening and use it quickly.

Another important aspect of the success of vaccination in poultry is the correct method of administration. Use a suitable injection needle for vaccination. Furthermore, administer the vaccine in a relatively cool environment. Administer the vaccine appropriately. Before injection, move the vaccine to a suitable temperature for half an hour to allow the vaccine to acclimate to the bird. When administering water vaccines, be aware of the environment and water temperature.
