Abstract

The day old broiler chickens possessing IBD precipitating maternal antibody when exposed either to IBD contaminated environment or challenged intrabursally with virulent virus at weekly intervals indicated 100% susceptibility around 4–5 weeks of age. However, chickens lacking maternal antibody upon intrabursal challenge were found susceptible by 2 weeks of age.

Sammendrag

Efter att daggamla broilerkycklingar med IBD-precipiterande maternala antikroppar exponerats för IBD-kontaminerad miljö eller utsatts för intrabursal challenge med virulent virus, upprepat en gång i veckan, visade de 100-% ig mottaglighet vid 4–5 veckors ålder. Kycklingar utan maternala antikroppar visade sig mottagliga för intrabursal challenge vid 2 veckors aider.
