Water is a very essential factor in the diet on chicken therefore should be paid attention to inorder to ensure the best state before giving it to your birds.
There’s no negative effect on the “killed/inactivated” (oil emulsion) vaccines, applied as intra-muscular or subcutaneous injections.
Water quality becomes very important, however, when “live” vaccines are used.
Excessively hard water, or water that contains a lot of organic matter, will result in a poor response to vaccines because the minerals and the organic matter can bind with them.
This also applies to water stored in rusty water tanks.
Remember that when water’s been chlorinated, vaccines can be totally neutralised.
That’s why there are a number of products available to neutralise chlorine.
Even skimmed milk powder can be used successfully.
If possible, stop chlorination for 24 hours before and 24 hours after vaccination.
Use distilled water for a spray application of a live vaccine, or boil the water for about 10 minutes and allow it to cool completely before using.
