In recent years, poultry has become the number one animal protein for human nutrition globally, and the demand continues to grow. However, the production and supply of poultry meat and eggs is influenced by numerous factors, with animal health being at the forefront. Consequently, securing animal health is vital not only to sustain productivity but also as the basis for animal welfare and paves the way for high-quality products.
Vaccination is a key tool to maintain poultry health in the face of numerous infectious agents. Since the introduction of the first vaccines in farming practices at the beginning of the last century, poultry vaccines and vaccination technologies have been at the forefront of developments. Today, a number of live vaccines, vector vaccines, subunits, killed and immune complex vaccines, and RNA vaccines are established on the market. The application of vector vaccines in ovo is a success story, combining vaccine development with mass application technology. However, various challenges remain, like the heterogeneity of microorganisms, the lack of vaccines for specific pathogens, and the transfer of single-bird vaccination to mass application, highlighting the need for continuous efforts and further innovations.
