Challenges abound in the use of drinking water Gumboro vaccination technique. Kenchic is the only firm that produces day-old broiler chicks vaccinated against Gumboro. Each week, Kenchic vaccinates 150,000-210,000 broiler chicks destined to its farms, contracted farmers and other poultry farmers across the country. In layers, a similar vaccination regime is followed although a third round is given at 30-35 days of age with the intermediate plus Gumboro vaccine. Farmers raising non-vaccinated chicks have to go through the often tedious process of vaccinating using the drinking water Gumboro vaccines.
