The Power to Protect

Protection against infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) powered by VAXXITEK®.

VAXXITEK® HVT+IBD+ILT
The Power to Protect Uniquely and Conveniently

Protects against ILT, Marek’s disease (MD), and infectious bursal disease (IBD) in a single vaccination.1

  • Vaxxitek Amps

    3-in 1 Protection

    Protects against ILT, Marek’s disease (MD), and infectious bursal disease (IBD) in a single vaccination.1

  • Chicken

    Immune Foundation

    Uses the same backbone as VAXXITEK® HVT+IBD to help you lay a strong immune foundation.2-9

  • Virus

    Optimal ILT Protection

    Immunogenic glycoprotein D ILT insert for optimal ILT protection

  • Eggs

    Performance Benefits

    Strong immune foundation enables productivity, reduces antibiotic use, and supports return on investment.10–15

HOW IT WORKS

  • 1-Proven HVT+IBD platform

    Built on a proven HVT+IBD platform that provides efficient, broad protection against IBD classic and MD.

  • 2-Protection against virulent ILT

    Inserted into this platform is a genetic sequence coding for glycoprotein D (gD), which is proven to give clinical protection against virulent, ILT virus (ILTV).16,17

  • 3-Single promoter

    The ILTV gD insertion site is the same as the IBD VP2 gene, allowing for the use of a single promotor. The result is consistent antigen expression for both viral genes in a field proven mechanism of protection.
