						 Fowl typhoid is one of the most significant bacterial diseases of layer birds. Its significance is drawn from the cost of productivity in commercial layer poultry. Vaccination is a superlative way of preventing disease in commercial poultry. In the current study, immunization, and protective efficacy of local strain in a prepared autogenous bacterin had been studied. A total of 120-layer birds of crystal neck breed were equally divided into three groups (A, B and C) having 40 birds in each. The birds of group A were kept as negative control (non-infected and non-treated), the group B was kept as a positive control (challenged with Salmonella gallinarum and non-treated) and group C was kept as a vaccinated group (challenged and vaccinated). All the experimental groups were retained under surveillance for the 3rd-week post-challenge. The protection assay was.. Read More»
