The 3rd and 4th group were kept as controls.
The safety of iradiated vaccine was proved in vaccinated chicks within 4 weeks under complete observation. Measurement of the immune reponse of the attenuated vaccine in both vaccinated groups using Elisa technique, revealed high titers of anti -E_ tenella anti bodies. Post challenge all vaccinated chicks provoked a satisfactory immunity against local virulent strain of E tenella . vaccineated chicks ( group A and b ) showed no symptons of the diseases with lower of oocysts no symptons of the diseases with lower number of ooccysts output and no death.
