==POULTRY DRINKING WATER-BASED VACCINE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024447 titled 'POULTRY DRINKING WATER-BASED VACCINE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a drinking water-based avian coccidiosis vaccine formulation and delivery system. The system is designed to deliver a live oocyst vaccine to chicks in poultry house brood chambers through the drinking water system. The vaccine is diluted and consumed by the chicks when they drink the water containing the vaccine. The timing of the chicks' access to the diluted vaccine is crucial, with a waiting period of 3-5 hours without water followed by a 2-hour accessibility period. Metering valves or terminal metering valve assemblies are used to control the flow of the diluted vaccine in the water lines.

* The patent application describes a system for delivering a live oocyst vaccine to chicks through the drinking water system in poultry houses.
* The vaccine is diluted and consumed by the chicks when they drink the water containing the vaccine.
* The timing of the chicks' access to the diluted vaccine is carefully controlled, with a waiting period without water followed by a limited accessibility period.
* Metering valves or terminal metering valve assemblies are used to regulate the flow of the diluted vaccine in the water lines.

Potential Applications:
* Poultry industry: The technology can be used in the poultry industry to vaccinate chicks against avian coccidiosis, a common disease that affects poultry.
* Veterinary medicine: The system can be utilized by veterinarians to administer vaccines to birds in a more convenient and efficient manner.

Problems Solved:
* Improved vaccination process: The system provides a more efficient and controlled method of delivering vaccines to chicks, ensuring proper inoculation and reducing the risk of disease.
* Reduced labor and handling: By delivering the vaccine through the drinking water system, the need for manual handling and individual vaccination of each chick is eliminated, saving time and labor.

Benefits:
* Increased vaccination efficiency: The system allows for mass vaccination of chicks in poultry houses, ensuring a higher vaccination coverage and reducing the risk of disease outbreaks.
* Convenience and ease of use: The drinking water-based delivery system simplifies the vaccination process, making it easier for poultry farmers and veterinarians to administer vaccines to a large number of birds.
* Cost-effective: The system eliminates the need for manual handling and individual vaccination, reducing labor costs and improving overall operational efficiency in the poultry industry.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the drinking water-based avian coccidiosis vaccine formulation and delivery system is structured to deliver a vaccine containing live oocysts to poultry house brood chamber chicks. the vaccine is delivered to the chicks in a diluted form through the poultry house drinking water system. the chicks are inoculated with the drinking water-based avian coccidiosis vaccine when they consume the water containing the vaccine. the timing of the chicks' drinking water access to the diluted drinking water vaccine is critical. during the inoculation process, water is temporarily withheld from the chicks for a waiting period of about 3-5 hours, and access to the diluted drinking water-based vaccine is limited to an accessibility period of about 2 hours. additionally, metering valves and/or terminal metering valve assemblies are manually or automatically closed when the when the drinking water lines are fully charged with the diluted vaccine.
