Fowl Pox Vaccination Made Easy for Poultry Keepers
Farmers and poultrymen can use vaccines grown in chick embryos or from scabs of infected birds. The process involves incubating eggs ten days, applying a drop to exposed membranes, sealing, and harvesting after three days. Vaccination is simple, effective, and should be done early to prevent growth disruption.
