Abstract
The immunorheophoresis (IR) technique was used for the detection of in fectious bursal disease antigen from bursae collected from field cases and experimentally infected chickens. When these results were compare d with that of the agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) test, they showed e xcellent agreement as determined by kappa value. However, the time tak en for the appearance of the precipitin lines was reduced from 14-24 h r in the ACID test to 3-5 hr in the IR technique.
