Comparative investigations of infectious runting and stunting syndrome in vaccinated breeder chicks by inactivated reovirus and chicks from non-vaccinated breeders

Comparative investigations of infectious runting and stunting syndrome in vaccinated breeder chicks by inactivated reovirus and chicks from non-vaccinated breeders.

Reoviruses are important pathogens responsible for poor growth performance and silent losses in the poultry industry. They are associated with many disease and syndromes such as malabsorption (runting and stunting syndrome), respiratory diseases and immunosuppression. Broiler birds are most susceptible to viral infections during the early post hatching period. Therefore, the transfer of materna...

Immunomodulatory and Growth-Promoting Effect of a Probiotic Supplemented in the Feed of Broiler Chicks Vaccinated Against Infectious Bursal Disease

Immunomodulatory and Growth-Promoting Effect of a Probiotic Supplemented in the Feed of Broiler Chicks Vaccinated Against Infectious Bursal Disease

This study was designed to investigate the effects of a probiotic plus an immunomodulatory product on the growth performance, immune response and net economic returns of broiler chicks vaccinated against Infectious bursal diseases virus (IBDV). A flock of 350 day-old chicks were equally and randomly distributed in seven groups, each comprising 50 birds. A mixture of microorganisms (1Probiotic) ...

Genotypic Characterization of Fungal Species Isolated From Broiler Breeder Chickens, Dead-In-Shell and Hatched Chicks

To investigate the prevalence of fungal agents in local Egyptian broiler breeder chicken’s premises, tracheal and cloacal swabs from chickens, feed, and water samples were collected. The targeted breed's dead-in-shell eggs and newly hatched chick’s samples were also tested. All fungal isolates were morphologically typed and the predominant fungal species were further subjected to molecular typi...

Prevalence of measles in vaccinated and non-vaccinated children

Collection of samples and serum separation From Faisalabad, a total of 1053 children under 10 years of age were surveyed from September, 2013 to May, 2014 about vaccination and disease history of measles. Out of these, 182 blood samples (132 from vaccinated and 50 from non-vaccinated individuals) were collected randomly. Similarly during the same period, from Jhang, 813 children under 10 years ...

Immunomodulatory Effects of Flumequine and Enrofloxacin on Newcastle Disease Virus Vaccinated Broiler Chicks

Immunomodulatory effects of Flumequine and enrofloxacin were evaluated on humoral immune response of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccinated broiler birds. It was observed that birds receiving flumequine as growth promoter had higher mean body weights, better feed conversion ratio, higher NDV haemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody, lesser overall mortality, 100% protection against challeng...
