Can IC (Killed) vaccine be used in the phase of IC outbreak?
Yes, but with variable success rate. • Can respiratory sounds / noise be considered as CRD? No. These sounds may be indicative of ND also. • Can we administer IB vaccine to birds in laying stage? No, IB vaccination in laying birds may cause temporary or permanent drop in egg production. • How many times sera samples should be collected from broiler birds in their life cycle? In case of broilers, sera samples should be collected only twice i.e. at the age of 3 days to estimate maternal antibodies to design vaccination program and second sample pre-slaughter to decide success of vaccination program followed. • What is coli-bacillosis? HOW can you prevent it? Coli-bacillosis is a condition caused by bacteria called E.Ccoli. This is not a primary disease, because E.coli organisms are always present. Some precipitating cause leads to coli-bacillosis. For prevention of coli-bacillosis proper sanitization of drinking water and minimum or no use of animal products in poultry feed are important
