T HIS study aimed to evaluate the impact of sodium butyrate (SB) on immune response of broiler vaccinated with 2 different inactivated H9N2 vaccines. 150 day-old chicks were divided into 5 groups (every 30 chicks): groups A and B were vaccinated with classical inactivated avian influenza H9N2 vaccine at 1 day-old/ S.C. Group A left without treatment but group B was treated with SB with a dosage of 1g/L of drinking water daily till end of trail. Whereas groups C and D were vaccinated with a developed inactivated avian influenza H9N2P vaccine at the same age S.C. Group C was left without treatment but group D was treated with SB as group B, finally, group E was control group. The results showed no significant effect of SB on level interferon γ in treated and/or vaccinated groups. Significant effect on Abs level with SB supplementation was detected at 14 days in group D in comparison with other groups, then at 35 days SB and or developed H9N2 vaccine revealed an elevation in Abs titer in group B, C, and D respectively by ELISA and HI tests. The significant difference occurred in RW of bursa with group B in comparison with group D and E at 21 and 28 days. Finally, group B showed a significant increase in weight gain at 35 days followed by group D in comparison with other groups. We concluded that supplemented SB at 1gm/ L has a positive impact on both humoral immunity and weight gain of broiler.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
