Abstract
Broiler breeder pullers were vaccinated against fowl cholera at 10 and 20 wk of age using a live PM-1 Pasteurella multocida vaccine administ ered by wing web stick. Antibody production for I? multocida was measu red at vaccination and at 1-4-wk intervals following vaccination by en zyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Groups of vaccinated birds were chall enged at 23 and 32 wk of age. Two doses of a live PM-1 P. multocida va ccine protected broiler breeder hens against virulent challenge up to 32 wk of age when measured antibody levels had a range of 1951-4346 an d a geometric titer of 3000.
