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.
