Veterinary subunit vaccines have promising applications
Vaccines have always been one of the most potent weapons in humanity’s…
Coccidiosis quadrivalent live vaccine for chickens combats E. tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina, and E. maxima. Administered via drinking water to chicks aged 3-5 days, it induces immunity in 14 days lasting 150 days. Ensure healthy birds and avoid anti-coccidiosis drugs around vaccination.

The WIXBIO coccidiosis vaccine is a quadrivalent vaccine made from harmful coccidia oocysts found in clinical settings, weakened through a dual attenuation process. It gives chickens a consistent oral dose of oocysts to trigger protective immunity against coccidiosis. It’s highly effective at preventing chicken coccidiosis, with a clinical protection rate of over 90%, and tackles issues like coccidia drug resistance and worries about drug residues in poultry products.
This chicken coccidiosis vaccine offers complete protection with dual-attenuated intermediate strains that boost antigenicity. It causes minimal immune stress, barely affects early growth rates, and provides long-lasting immunity once established. It cuts down on medication costs, overcomes the downsides of drug-based prevention, and lowers feed ratios and farming costs. It’s non-toxic, antibiotic-free, and leaves no drug residues, avoiding food safety risks.
When transporting the chicken coccidiosis vaccine, pack it in a foam box and keep it away from direct contact with ice using newspaper or foam boards. Store it at 2–8°C—never freeze it or keep it near heat sources during transport or storage.
Broilers are usually vaccinated at 1–3 days of age. For chickens slaughtered after 60 days of age—like high-quality Sanhuang chickens, Ma chickens, breeders, and native breeds—vaccinate at 4–6 days of age.
If pullorum disease is severe, treat it with medication first, stop the drugs for 1–2 days, and then vaccinate. Plan to stagger the vaccination with other vaccines by 1 day.
Drinking water vaccination is an easy way to immunize. Still, since the active part of the chicken coccidiosis vaccine is granular oocysts that sink in water, you need to add a suspension aid during dilution. This keeps the oocysts floating and evenly spread in the water so chickens can take a uniform dose. Using a suspension aid in drinking water makes vaccination more even than dripping it into each chicken’s mouth.
Tools You’ll Need:
Several drinking water containers, one large water tank, two toothpicks, one wooden or bamboo stirring stick, and one measuring cup or spoon.
It can mess with the suspension if your local water is hard (like if it leaves a lot of scale when boiled). Use cold-boiled water to dilute the vaccine instead. The day before vaccinating, figure out how much water you’ll need based on the number of chickens—plan for 6 kg per 1,000 chickens—and prep a tank of cold-boiled water.

Steps for Using the Vaccine:
In big, standardized farms with no hands for drinking water vaccination, mixing the vaccine into feed works just as well for immunity.

Feed Mixing Process:
Notes:
Here’s a rundown of drugs to avoid in feed: Don’t add anything with anti-coccidial effects, like salinomycin, tylosin, decoquinate, kanamycin, nicarbazin, maduramicin, sulfonamides, clopidol, arsanilic acid, furans, penicillins, or plant essential oils. For the first 25 days, also skip tetracyclines (like doxycycline, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline), organic arsenic stuff (like arsanilic acid, roxarsone), and any specialized anti-coccidial drugs.
Don’t use drugs with anti-coccidial activity during treatment—it’ll interrupt immunity. (The figure below shows banned medicines and timelines for a first dose at 6 days.)
There are limits on meds during vaccination, but don’t overdo it and avoid treating problems, as that can harm your health. For example:
There is no need to limit feed or water before vaccinating. Keep the water flowing normally to help chickens eat at the same time and get even immunity.
Pack the vaccine in a foam box for transport, keeping it away from ice with newspaper or similar materials. Store it at 2–8°C—don’t freeze it or let it near heat sources during transport or storage.
Even dosing, pen expansion and litter management are what make it work during vaccination.
Even dosing for the first shot gives all chickens the same baseline immunity and similar oocyst shedding. Spread oocysts evenly across the chicken house corners in floor rearing to set up consistent reinfection. Uneven dosing means oocyst spread in the litter worsens after reproduction—too many oocysts can hit unvaccinated or under-dosed chickens hard, causing strong reactions since they lack baseline immunity.
Expand pens based on the breed’s rearing needs.
In floor rearing, expanding daily or every other day leaves fewer oocysts in new areas and new litter, while old litter has more, leading to uneven reinfection. Chickens overeating react strongly, while those eating too little don’t get enough boost.
Time expansion based on house temp, season, and litter moisture. Ideally, expand before day 5 post-vaccination, getting the brooding area to the size needed by day 20 in one go, adding new litter, and skipping mid-process changes. If insulation makes that challenging, move some old litter to the new pen and mix it with fresh stuff during expansion.
After expanding, make the brooding area as big as possible with thick litter (over 5 cm) so chickens can move around. Mix and dilute oocysts evenly in the litter. This keeps reinfection moderate and uniform, cutting down reactions.
Aim for 55–70% air humidity and 25–30% litter moisture. Proper litter moisture helps oocysts sporulate, but too much speeds it up and boosts rates, causing fast coccidia growth. Some chickens might get bloody stools or die, especially in farms with high wild strain pressure on their first go.
If the litter is dry, spray it lightly to maintain humidity; if it’s too wet, boost ventilation or add fresh litter.
Note: Don’t fully replace litter within 25 days. The vaccine needs fecal contact to keep boosting—chickens must eat oocysts from feces to build strong immunity.
Good litter quality and management are the key to making this vaccine work.
