The VECTORMUNE® HVT NDV vaccine is a recombinant vaccine in which the F gene of a NDV lentogenic strain has been inserted into the HVT genome. In the current study, this vaccine was assessed for its safety in chickens. Based on clinical observations, gross pathological examinations, histopathological examinations, virus shedding and tissue distribution, the VECTORMUNE® HVT NDV vaccine was determined to possess a high level of safety in chickens.
