Why is maintaining a cold chain important for poultry vaccines?

Maintaining vaccine shelf life: Most vaccines contain live or attenuated microorganisms that are sensitive to heat and cold.

Ensuring vaccine potency and efficacy: Exposure to temperatures outside the recommended range can degrade the vaccine, making it less effective or completely unusable.

Preventing vaccine wastage: Maintaining a cold chain ensures that vaccines remain potent and effective, prevents costly product waste, and ensures that birds are properly protected.

Maintaining animal health: Ultimately, a successful cold chain provides reliable protection for poultry flocks against disease.
