NCC Allied Leader member company Merck Animal Health this week announced it has introduced SE Guard,™ the newest vaccine available for both broiler breeders and layers, to control the threat of Salmonella enteritidis. “Producers are keenly aware of how vital it is to have a strong, FDA-compliant Salmonella enteritidis control program in place,” said Charles Broussard, D.V.M, MAM, Merck Animal Health. “Vaccinating with SE Guard as part of a comprehensive program helps reduce colonization and shedding of the bacteria within the flock.”
With flexible timing options for administration, SE Guard is easily incorporated into any comprehensive Salmonella enteritidis protection program. Humoral antibodies protect pullets when vaccinated at least 10 weeks of age. A second vaccination is recommended a minimum six weeks following initial vaccination.
