Recombinant vaccines, a new option in disease control

Vaccination is the most effective strategy for the control of disease in poultry. In-ovo vaccination of embryos at 18 days of incubation is already a method to combat various diseases. For this purpose conventional strains and strains specially developed for in-ovo administration are used. Molecular engineering technology has enabled the development of a new generation of vaccines, called recombinant vaccines that can be applied in-ovo or subcutaneously by injection at day one.
