The purpose for Austral- ia’s compulsory Newcastle disease vaccination strat- egy, which was introduced as a result of the outbreak, is to ensure Australia’s commercial poultry in- dustry is protected from another Newcastle disease outbreak.
This year, Newcastle dis- ease management is un- der review by the World Organisation for Animal Health, known as the OIE, in order to consider obliga- tions going forward.
Recently, a farmer asked if he could stop vaccinat- ing for Newcastle disease because it was costing too much.
Hence, it is compulsory for egg producers to vacci- nate in all states for New- castle disease.
Being asked this ques- tion on more than one occasion and also being involved in discussions about the diseases listed in the Emergency Animal Disease Response Agree- ment last year prompted the first Egg Farmers of Australia article for the year to focus on Newcastle disease.

For example, to be able to vaccinate with inactivated ND vaccine at 10 weeks of age, V4 should have been given no later than 6 weeks of age. 10 Guidance: In case of multi-age rearing of birds, it is recommended to vaccinate closer to 2 weeks. 11 If there is evidence of HI titres lower than 23 prior to administration of inactivated vaccine, additional live V4 should be introduced between 6-8 weeks of age for subsequent flocks. 12 For two of the three available vaccines, this route is currently not a registered product label claim
