Embrex® Inovoject® Systems
The Inovoject® System is a proprietary, automated machine used to
vaccinate chicks in ovo. This system delivers precise, uniform
injections, ensuring accurate dosage to all eggs. The Inovoject System
stimulates an early immune response and minimizes stress to the bird.
Continuous improvements have been incorporated into an innovative system
that is capable of handling the harsh hatchery conditions with the goal
of delivering a precise dose of vaccine to every egg, both quickly and
accurately.

The Inovoject System is an industry leader, being used in over 85
percent of the United States broiler market and in over 30 countries.
Embrex® Inovoject® Systems - Vaccine Saver®
The Vaccine Saver® is used with the Inovoject System and identifies
nonviable eggs up to day 11, and then selectively vaccinates the
remaining fertilized eggs.
This exclusive system helps lower customers’ vaccination costs, offering
a savings of up to 25 percent that would normally be wasted by injecting
nonviable infertile and early dead eggs. This system quickly identifies
nonviable eggs and empty egg locations for accurate vaccine distribution
in to viable eggs. Micropumps ensure dosage accuracy and are safe for
all current in ovo vaccines.
Embrex® Inovoject® Systems - Egg Remover®
The Egg Remover® can be use in conjunction with the Inovoject system or
operate as a standalone device to identify nonviable eggs and then
remove them before injection. Patented candling technology allows the
system to measure every egg several times, ensuring a high level of
accuracy for removing all clear eggs.
The Egg Remover offers many features and benefits to help improve hatch
and reduce cull rate.

|
|
Accurate and sanitary - The pulsed light identification system
samples each egg multiple times to ensure that they are identified
correctly. Only eggs destined for removal are handled by a
venturi-vacuum cup system, ensuring that there is no cross
contamination of eggs determined as viable.
|
--
|
|
Hatch improvements - Improvements in airflow created by the
removal of nonviable eggs allows for greater airflow exchange,
resulting in more rapid removal of heat and carbon dioxide. As a
result, users of the Egg Remover System typically have seen up to
1.5 percent hatch improvement, particularly in older flocks.
|
--
|
|
Data - Data collection is easy to access and will provide general
hatch prediction information up to three days prior to hatch. This
is beneficial for bird placement schedules and troubleshooting
incubation/fertility problems.
|

|
|
Improved hatchery operations – Hatchery clean up and
chick-processing time is decreased due to virtually eliminating
egg yolk from contaminating hatchery automation and being
deposited on the chick. In some markets clear egg removal at
transfer can create new waste disposal opportunities and possibly
decrease waste disposal fees.

Embrex® Inovoject® Systems - Chick Counter®
The Chick Counter® is a separate digital counting system that is
manually fed to count male and female chicks separately. This system has
been used predominantly in Brazil for the past 3 to 4 years, and it is
being used now in Mexico where manual labor is relatively inexpensive
and they still sex sort birds.
The benefits of the Chick Counter system include improved counting
accuracy, speed and utilizing existing sex sorting labor to perform two
jobs versus one. This system is also used as a way to monitor the
performance of the sex sorting personnel.
Bursaplex®
Bursaplex® is the first Antigen Antibody Complex vaccine developed for
the prevention and control of infectious bursal disease (IBD), a disease
that affects the immune system of the bird. This revolutionary concept
consists of an active antigen with the appropriate ratio of specific
antiserum resulting in a safe and effective vaccine for in ovo
and subcutaneous at hatch administration.
Bursaplex is administered as a single dose program for IBD control in
broilers. This represents an improved, simple and convenient approach
for IBD control when compared to conventional vaccination programs,
eliminating multiple administrations and the uncertainty of best timing
for revaccination. This vaccine is licensed in more than 25 countries
and is primarily used in key poultry markets in Asia and Latin America.
Inovocox™
Inovocox™ is the first USDA-approved in ovo vaccine for
immunization against coccidiosis, a parasitic disease that affects the
digestive system of poultry. Traditionally coccidiosis is managed by
coccidiostats, chemical compounds delivered orally through feed. This
approach requires poultry producers to rotate usage as the birds develop
resistance to the coccidiostats.
Inovocox’s ease-of-use and ability to be delivered in ovo with
other vaccines is the reason it is being seen as a highly effective
alternative to poultry producers around the world. The precise, early
and uniform administration of the vaccine assures development of strong
immunity, prevention of coccidiosis and the associated detrimental
effects on live production.
