Evaluation Of Duck Immune Response To Mutual Vaccination With Avianfluenza And Duck Hepatitis Vaccines

Abstract: The present work was conducted to investigate and evaluate the immune response of ducks to duck hepatitis (DH) and avian influenza vaccines administrated singly or simultaneously. Different groups of local breed ducks were vaccinated with the locally produced duck hepatitis vaccine and imported H5N1 and H5 N2 avian influenza (AI) vaccines following the directions of their manufacturers. Serologically it was found that there was no any antagonizing effect of any of the used vaccines on the duck immune response to the other where all vaccinated birds exhibited good levels of specific DH and AI antibodies. Vaccinated ducks showed 80-100% protection against the challenge with virulent DH virus while challenge against AI was not done to avoid public health hazard. So, it is possible to protect duck simultaneously against DH and AI safely and potently.
