Abstract
The immune potentials of full dose and half dose of bursal derived IBD oil emulsified vaccine (OEV) and a full dose of check embryo derived IBD oil em ulsified vaccine were compared. The antibody response was detected by quant itative agar gel precipitation test (QAGPT). Challenge studies were also pe rformed. The bursal derived OEV at full and half dose provided higher immun e response and better protection than chick embryo derived OEV when vaccina ted at seventh day of age. A half dose of killed bursal derived IBD OEV is recommended.
