Vaccine stabilizer method
First Claim
1. A method of treating livestock with a vaccine, comprising the steps of:
- providing a quantity of water for treating livestock with the vaccine;
mixing a reducing agent selected to neutralize oxidizing water sanitizers in the water;
mixing the vaccine in the water after the reducing agent has neutralized the water sanitizers; and
treating the livestock with the vaccine and water mixture.

Abstract
A method of treating livestock with a vaccine includes mixing a reducing agent, such as sodium thiosulfate, with water, which may include oxidizing water sanitizers, mixing the vaccine with the water after the reducing agent has neutralized the water sanitizers, and treating the livestock with the vaccine and water mixture. The method may include adding a buffer to the water along with the reducing agent to adjust the pH, and adding a coloring agent to the water to aid in identifying livestock that has been treated with the vaccine. The vaccine may be administered to the livestock in different ways, such as by including it in drinking water or by spraying the livestock with the vaccine and water mixture.

7. A method of treating livestock with a vaccine, comprising the steps of:
-
transporting water to a location for treating livestock with a vaccine;
selecting a reducing agent that neutralizes oxidizing water sanitizers being transported in the water while not adversely effecting the vaccine;
adding the selected reducing agent to the water before reaching the location; and
mixing the vaccine in the water after the reducing agent is added to the water and before the water reaches the location. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

21. A method of stabilizing a live vaccine and delivering the stabilized live vaccine to livestock, comprising:
-
providing a source of drinking water for the livestock, the drinking water containing an oxidizing sanitizer;
preparing a dry mix having a predetermined amount of a reducing agent with at least one additional additive, wherein the reducing agent is selected from the group consisting essentially of sodium thiosulfate, sodium metabisulfite, sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, ammonium bisulfite and ammonium thiosulfate;
forming a concentrated solution by adding a predetermined amount of the dry mix to a predetermined volume of water; and
introducing the concentrated solution into the drinking water in a predetermined proportion that is sufficient to effectively neutralize the oxidizing sanitizer. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
