He explained about effectiveness of bacterins against M.gallisepticum and how it reduces the vertical transmission with the help of detailed reports of the trials conducted on broiler parent flocks. He introduced the VH MGK , Ventri Biological’s inactivated vaccine against M.gallisepticum. The vaccine contains F strain of M.gallisepticuam (the only vaccine with F strain) and unique VISA 15 adjuvant. F strain is the most effective in inducing the immunity and replacing the wild strain in a flock and VISA 15 ensures long duration of immunity. He advised 3 dosed of VHMGK in broiler breeder schedule (13th week, 18th week & 40th week) and chemical program with any one of the three antimycoplama antibiotics (Tiamulin, Tilmicosin and Tylvalsoin) from first week to 12th week.

Dr. M.M.Chawak explained that M.gallisepticum is the most prevalent and pathogenic species in India which warrants effective vaccines to be included in control measures and even though some flocks show serologically positive for M.syniviae, most of the strains are non pathogenic.
