The study was performed to investigate the immunogenicity of Salmonella and Fowl cholera vaccine prepared at BAU using Shuvra strain of chickens administered with BAU Salmonella bivalent and BAU Fowl cholera vaccines prepared by “Livestock and Poultry Vaccine Research and Production Centre”, (LPVRPC). A total of 60 apparently healthy BLRI strains Shuvra were used in this study. The birds were divided into three groups, consisting of 20 birds in each group. Shuvra- A group birds were vaccinated with BAU Salmonella bivalent vaccine, Shuvra-B group birds with BAU Fowl cholera vaccines and Shuvra-C group birds were used as unvaccinated control. The birds, except the ones in group C, were vaccinated intramuscularly (0.5ml) at 8 weeks of age followed by a booster dose at 12 weeks of age. Sera samples were collected on day 56, 85, 105 days and after challenge at 140 days age of birds. Secondary (booster) vaccination (P< 0.05) exhibited a significant level of antibody response. The antibody titre of these birds slowly descended till four weeks of challenge test. It was observed that a dependable level of immunogenicity of BAU Salmonella Bivalent and BAU Fowl cholera vaccine was observed when administered under this schedule followed in Shuvra strain of chickens.

Background: Duck cholera is an acute, fatal, septicemic disease of domestic ducks which is responsible for significant loss in duck population. The present study was conducted to compare the immunogenicity of two formalin killed fowl cholera vaccines (BAU-FCV and DLS-FCV) in indigenous ducks. Methods: The experimental ducks were divided into three groups (A=15, B=15 and C =10 ducks) of which birds of Group A and Group B were inoculated with 0.5 ml of BAU-FCV and DLS-FCV, respectively through subcutaneous route at the age of 10 weeks whereas ducks of group C were kept as unvaccinated control. Booster vaccination was done with same dose and route at 14 weeks of age. Challenge infection was conducted after 2 weeks of booster vaccination. Results: The mean PHA antibody titres on 15 days post vaccination (DPPV), 28 DPPV, 15 days postsecondary vaccination (DPSV), 28 DPSV and 15 days post challenge were 25.60 ± 3.92, 51.20 ± 7.84, 89.60 ± 15.68, 166.40 ± 38.40 and 204.80 ± 31.35, respectively in ducks of Group A whereas, the mean antibody titres in ducks of Group B were 25.60 ± 3.92, 44.80 ± 7.84, 64.00 ± 7.53,102.40 ± 15.68 and 179.20 ± 31.35 at 15 DPPV, 28 DPPV, 15 DPSV, 28 DPSV and 15 days after challenge, respectively. In this investigation, slightly higher immune responses were observed in ducks of Group A vaccinated with BAU-FCV compare to ducks of Group B vaccinated with DLS-FCV. Birds of both vaccinated groups conferred 100% protection against challenge infection with virulent Pasteurella multocida whereas, 100% mortality was observed in control ducks after challenge. Conclusion: Both vaccines were found to be safe and effective for the vaccination of indigenous ducks against duck cholera.

AbstractPasteurella multocida causes fowl cholera, a highly contagious poultry disease of global concern, causing significant ecological and economic challenges to the poultry industry each year. This study evaluated the effects of novel multi-strain probiotics consisting of Lactobacillus plantarum, L. fermentum, Pediococcus acidilactici, Enterococcus faecium and Saccharomyces cerevisiae on growth performance, intestinal microbiota, haemato-biochemical parameters and anti-inflammatory properties on broilers experimentally challenged with P. multocida. A total of 120 birds were fed with a basal diet supplemented with probiotics (108 CFU/kg) and then orally challenged with 108 CFU/mL of P. multocida. Probiotics supplementation significantly (P < 0.05) improved growth performance and feed efficiency as well as reducing (P < 0.05) the population of intestinal P. multocida, enterobacteria, and mortality. Haemato-biochemical parameters including total cholesterol, white blood cells (WBC), proteins, glucose, packed cell volume (PCV) and lymphocytes improved (P < 0.05) among probiotic fed birds when compared with the controls. Transcriptional profiles of anti-inflammatory genes including hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1A), tumor necrosis factor- (TNF) stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6) and prostaglandin E receptor 2 (PTGER2) in the intestinal mucosa were upregulated (P < 0.05) in probiotics fed birds. The dietary inclusion of the novel multi-strain probiotics improves growth performance, feed efficiency and intestinal health while attenuating inflammatory reaction, clinical signs and mortality associated with P. multocida infection in broilers.

Field studies of fowl cholera on two commercial poultry farms are described. One farm, previously free of cholera, was studied during an active epidemic, which occurred during the winter months. The strains of P. avicida recovered, both from "autopsy" and from "healthy carriers" proved generally similar, and to be of the "fluorescent" or "intermediate" colony type, which is of relatively high virulence. After the subsidence of the epidemic, these strains tended to disappear. The second flock consisted of a small group of birds which had survived an epidemic of cholera the previous year, and in which the infection was prevailing in endemic form. No deaths occurred during the period of observation, but the number of birds with localized lesions and the number of carriers increased to a high level during the winter months. The strains of P. avicida were apparently of the "blue" colony form, although some, as shown by their acid and serum agglutination reactions, resembled the "intermediates." These strains appeared to be spreading rather than dying out. The individual fowls differed in their response to the presence of infection; some showed localized lesions, others were carriers, while still others seemed entirely refractory.
