Experience in monitoring IBD antibody titers of broiler birds of two close house farms involving three IBD vaccinations per cycle
Published:March 19, 2015
Summary
Back ground One of the challenges I had during my work as the research and development manager of one of the leading semi-integrated (rearing/processing) broiler operations in Sri Lanka was to investigate why infectious bursal disease (IBD) out breaks occurred from time to time in the two close house broiler farms belonging to the company despites of administering three IBD vaccines duri...
Hello Mr. Hettiarachchi.
I'm interested about the IDEXX score grouping you have made (Table 1). I read that it's made according to IDEXX Xcheck protocols, and I would like to know were to find these protocols and/or some references to understand how that categorical scale is constructed or what does it mean for a chicken to be within a certain category.
I use IDEXX IBD kit for research purposes and it would be very helpful to know what is that scale based in.
If you can provide any information regarding this, I would be very grateful.
Kind regards.

Matías Daniel Richetta I think when we using IDEXX KIT and Software from IDEXX, when machine read result, it was done auto group ( Group 0, Group 1.....) by level of Titer. It is make auto by Software of IDEXX. I also concern about Titer Grouping for ND, APV, IBV....also.
With another disease, as ND, APV, IBV....how can we know Titer Grouping as IBD above - examples: Group 0 titer from 0 to 396, Group 1 titer from 397 to 999......( using IDEXX Test KIT)
Best regards,
