ABSTRACT
Talazadeh F, Mayahi
M, Fathi M., Effect
of malt supplement on immune markers in broilers vaccinated avian influenza
H9N2, Onl J Vet Res., 24 (4):217-223, 2020. We report effect of malt extract
supplement in drinking water on antibody titers to influenza H9N2 vaccine in
broiler chickens. Groups of 15 one-day-old Ross
broilers were bled before vaccination and then supplemented 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5%
malt extract in drinking water daily. Controls were not given the supplement or
vaccinated. Chicks were vaccinated avian Influenza-Newcastle disease
(AI-ND) subtype H9N2 killed vaccine subcutaneously at day 9. Blood was taken before
vaccination and on day 14, 21 and 28 for antibody titer of avian influenza
vaccine by Hemagglutination Inhibition test (HI
test). The
results of this research showed that none of three doses of malt extract
had a significant effect on antibody response against AI vaccine.
