Poultry vaccines
Disease prevention by vaccination is an integral part of flock health management protocols. Active immunization using live vaccines is the current industry standard. Routinely used vaccines in chickens include MDV, NDV, IBV, and IBDV, and in turkeys NDV and HEV. Newer vaccines, including molecular recombinants in which genes of immunogenic proteins from infectious agents are inserted into a live viral vector, are also being examined for commercial use. Efforts are under way to enhance vaccine efficacy by the use of adjuvants, particularly cytokines. The vaccine delivery systems include in ovo injection, aerosol, spray, drinking water, eye drop, and wing web injection. The in ovo vaccination procedure is relatively new and at the present time it is used primarily to vaccinate broiler chickens against MDV. Birds respond to vaccines by developing humoral and cellular immune responses. There are two main types of vaccine available for poultry: live or killed.
Introduction Immunosuppression in poultry causes widespread and significant economic losses, by decreasing vaccine effectiveness, causing excessive post-vaccine reactions, and allowing secondary infections like E. coli to establish, requiring antibiotic treatment. Dexter M. Abrigo and Stephane Lemiere* explain how to reduce immunosuppression to build a good and solid immune...

Magni-Phi (Phibro Animal Health) is a triterpenoid saponin feed additive that has been shown to exert anticoccidial effects in broilers. A series of four floor pen studies was carried out to evaluate the efficacy and performance responses of Magni-Phi (MP) when used in combination with a standard coccidiosis vaccination program. Trials 1 and 2 were designed to assess the effects of MP (0 and 250 ppm) in birds receiving CocciVac at hatching. Trial 3 was designed to determine the ideal...

INTRODUCTION
Chicken infectious bronchitis is a worldwide infectious disease affecting different poultry sectors. It was first described in 1931 in young chickens in the United States (Butcher et al., 2002). It is caused by several serotypes of Coronavirus (IBV) which are variably distributed. Some emerging variants spread from country or primary foyer where they are isolated to another (Rafiei et al., 2010)...

Avian influenza, or “bird flu,” poses a continuing threat to birds, animals, and people throughout the world. In December 2014, the presence of a highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 virus in both domestic and wild birds was confirmed in Washington State. Since then, the virus has been found in wild birds in California, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and Oregon.

Vaccination is one method used to help prevent the spread of infectious poultry diseases, but current vaccines could be safer and more effective. At the Agricultural Research Service’s Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) in Athens, Georgia, scientists are developing vaccines to help reduce virulent virus shedding—excretion of virus by a host—and disease transmission from infected birds...

Can anyone tell us. We are having broiler breeder flock of the age 59th week of age. We did Elisa test for ND N we got C.V 15-16. At the same time we got high titres up to 22000. So, at this condition, should I go for vaccination for ND or I can delay it? ...

Introduction Fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beverages, and some fortified or omega-3 enriched products can be considered as functional foods. In fact, consumption of omega-3 is associated with reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and cancers (Mozaffarian et al., 2005; Theodoratou et al., 2007) besides improving animal health and blood parameters (Jameel and Sahib, 2014). Tissue structure, muscles are the...

Hatchlings are highly susceptible to Salmonella with infection by a few organisms resulting in rapid colonization of the intestinal tract (7). Infection of young birds results in heavier shedding of salmonellae and a longer duration than occurs in older birds. Resistance to Salmonella infection increases with age with older birds requiring a higher level of salmonellae to become infected (6). It is for these reasons...

Historical background
So far, the use of mass vaccination as an option for the control of avian influenza (AI) in poultry was not applied in the field until1995. During the outbreak of HPAI H5N2 in 1994-1995, Mexico applied large-scale vaccination campaign using inactivated homologous H5N2 vaccines [18, 31]. Also, Pakistan used inactivated H7N1 vaccines to control HPAI H7N1 outbreaks in 1995 [37-39]....

New tests and vaccines are making it easier to detect viruses in chickens and protect them from the cancer-like diseases some of them cause. One of the latest tools developed by scientists at the Agricultural Research Service’s Avian Disease and Oncology Laboratory (ADOL) in East Lansing, Michigan, is a modified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to detect unique genetic sequences of both Marek’s disease and avian reticuloendotheliosis...
