I have to add one more person to the vaccination crew to inject Clostridium perfringens type A toxoid in my pullets. How much will that cost me?
Clostridium perfringens type A toxoid was designed to coincide with current management practices. Pullets are handled anyway at ages 10 to 15 and 17 to 20 weeks to receive other vaccinations. In the United States, the cost of additional labor required to inject Clostridium perfringens type A toxoid in pullet flocks has been estimated to range from $0.015 to $0.03 per pullet. For a two-shot treatment, the total cost of additional labor would be an estimated $0.03 to $0.06 per pullet.
