Boehringer Ingelheim introduces advanced three-in-one poultry vaccine in India

Boehringer Ingelheim, a global leader in animal health, has launched its latest three-in-one poultry vaccine in India.

This single-dose, next-generation solution protects poultry from Bursal, Newcastle, and Marek's diseases.

This innovative vaccine is designed to address the practical challenges faced by poultry farmers in India, offering early, reliable and long-lasting immunity with just one administration at the hatchery.

With poultry playing a vital role in the country's food supply and rural economy, disease outbreaks remain a serious threat to both productivity and profitability. This new vaccine offers a streamlined approach to disease prevention by reducing the need for multiple field vaccinations, lowering labour requirements, and minimising bird handling stress—all while maintaining strong disease control access production systems.

Dr. Vinod Gopal, Boehringer Ingelheim India's country head for animal health, emphasised the company's focus on local needs. "We understand the pressure Indian poultry farmers face—from disease control to operational efficiency. This vaccine reflects our commitment in bringing  to science-led, farmer-focused innovations to the market. By combining protection into a single dose, we are helping farmers enhance productivity, improve bird welfare, and build more resilient operations."

Dr. K.S. Prajapati, former head of the Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Science in Anand Agricultural University, commented on the significance of this advancement. "Farmers need solutions that are both effective and practical. The evolving disease landscape demands smarter protection strategies. A vaccine that offers early, combined immunity against three major diseases is a valuable tool that helps farmers secure their flocks and reduce reliance on antibiotics."

The vaccine is suitable for broilers, layers and breeders and can be administered either in ovo or via subcutaneous injection at the hatchery.
