The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) vaccination on performance of broiler chicks for five weeks. Two types of poultry houses and three patterns of vaccination (NDV^-/IBDV^-, NDV^+/IBDV^-and NDV^+/IBDV^+) were factorially assigned to six treatments. NDV, B1 strain and IBDV, Bursin-2 vaccine were orally administered at 5, 14 and 7, 18 days, respectively. Forty eight hundred chicks were grouped into four replications with two hundnyd hybro × hybro chicks per each treatment. Weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality and product index were surveyed at the end of experiment. Bursa index and IBDV antibody titer of chicks were weekly measured.
Weight gain of chicks vaccinated with NDV^+/IBDV^+ was significantly increased compared to that of other treatments at both window and windowless poultry houses (p $lt; 0.05). Chicks vaccinated with NDV^+/ IBDV^+ also showed significantly improving the FCR and mortality compared to those of other treatments at both poultry houses (p $lt; 0.05). The bursa indecies of both poultry houses were high from one-day- to three-weeks-old, but were low for the rest of two weeks. IBDV antibody of all chicks was detected 100% by agar gel precipitation (AGP) test at one day old, but was not detected in NDV^-/IBDV^- and NDV^+/IBDV^- treatments at four weeks old. However, it showed 100% in NDV^+/IBDV^+ treatment. Antibody titer using ELISA showed similar trend to that of AGP test.
The results of this experiment confirmed that IBDV and NDV combined vaccine significantly improved the performance of broiler chicks.
