Twenty one days post inoculation all vaccinated groups and the control one were experimentally challenged intradermolingually with 104 MLD50 of FMD virus (strain 01/2/72-Egypt) the locally prepared formalin inactivated aluminium hydroxide adsorbed tissue culture FMD “O1 “ Vaccine either alone or with BCG vaccine was proved to be safe and potent enough to protect calves against experimental FMD virus infection.
