Vaccination program of fowl pox and Necrotic Enteritis vaccines in chickens

Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate the immune response of chickens vaccinated simultaneously with fowl pox and necrotic enteritis vaccines at different times. For this purpose five groups of chickens were used 1st group vaccinated with fowl pox vaccine simultaneously with the 1st dose of necrotic enteritis vaccine, the 2nd group vaccinated with fowl pox vaccine simultaneously with the 2nd dose of necrotic enteritis vaccine while the 3rd group vaccinated with fowl pox vaccine alone and the 4th group vaccinated with necrotic enteritis vaccine only; and the 5th group was left as non- vaccinated control. The chickens immune response was evaluated by serum neutralization test for both vaccines and challenge test for fowl pox vaccine. Higher immunogenic response for both vaccines was induced in chickens vaccinated simultaneously with fowl pox vaccine at the time of the 2nd dose of necrotic enteritis vaccine than in all other groups, which also exhibited a good protective immune response against both diseases. So it could be concluded that fowl pox vaccine could administered with necrotic enteritis vaccine without any interference, inducing a good immunogenic response.
