The FMD or Poultry Vaccinator is a precision instrument used for administering vaccines to livestock and poultry, particularly during large-scale immunization drives. It is specifically designed for efficiency, repeatable dosing, and ease of use in mass vaccination of animals against Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD), Newcastle Disease, and other infectious conditions.

•   Can be sterilized and reused  

•   Requires trained personnel to operate correctly

•   Risk of cross-contamination if not sterilized properly

•   Manual models may cause fatigue during large-scale operations

•   Fragile plastic models may wear out faster than metal 

•   Always sterilize before and after use

•   Use species-appropriate dose calibration

•   Replace worn-out seals and plungers regularly

•   Store in clean, dry area when not in use

•   Avoid mixing vaccine types in the same device 

 •   HS Code: 9018.39

•   HSN Code: 90183990 (Covers veterinary syringes, vaccinators, and similar devices)

•   Fill syringe slowly to avoid air bubbles

•   Confirm dose setting before each use

•   Rinse with distilled water post-use and sterilize properly

•   Store in protective case to avoid damage to nozzle

•   Can be autoclaved at 121°C for 15–20 minutes (if fully stainless or autoclavable plastic)

•   Chemical sterilization possible using glutaraldehyde or chlorhexidine solutions

•   Livestock (Cattle, Buffalo, Sheep, Goats): Used for mass vaccination against FMD, PPR, Haemorrhagic Septicaemias, etc.

•   Poultry (Broilers, Layers, Breeders): Used for wing web, ocular, nasal, or intramuscular vaccine delivery against ND, IBD, and AI

•   Essential in government and private sector animal health programs

•   Widely used in farm management, hatcheries, and animal health camps 

•   Note: Not used in human medicine.

•   Designed exclusively for veterinary and poultry use due to size, dosing mechanism, and design configuration.

 Q1. What diseases can be prevented using this vaccinator?

  Answer: It is used for FMD, PPR, Newcastle Disease, Avian Influenza, and other livestock/poultry diseases.

Q2. Is the vaccinator reusable?

  Answer: Yes, most models are reusable after proper cleaning and sterilization.

Q3. Can I adjust the dose?

  Answer: Yes, many vaccinators come with adjustable dose settings between 0.1 ml to 10 ml.

Q4. Is it suitable for both livestock and poultry?
