Overview

Ultifend ND IBD is a veterinary vaccine used to protect chickens against three separate viral diseases: Newcastle disease (ND), infectious bursal disease (IBD) and Marek’s disease (MD).

ND is a viral infection of chickens which causes gasping and coughing, nervous signs (drooping wings, twisting of the head and neck, circling and paralysis), swelling of the tissues around the eyes and neck, greenish watery diarrhoea and reduced egg production.

IBD (also known as Gumboro disease) is a viral infection of young chickens that reduces their immunity (body’s ability to fight disease) and can lead to their death at 3 to 6 weeks of age. Signs of chickens infected with IBD include trembling, ruffled feathers, poor appetite, dehydration, diarrhoea, huddling and depression. 

MD is a herpesvirus infection of chickens which can cause paralysis of the wings and legs and causes tumours in various organs. Chickens become infected at an early age via inhalation of dander (flakes of skin) containing the virus, which can remain infectious for several months after being shed from the body. Chickens infected with MD virus can be carriers and shedders of the virus for life.

Ultifend ND IBD contains a live strain of turkey herpesvirus (strain rHVT/ND/IBD) that has been modified to produce proteins from ND virus and IBD virus.
