Peningkatan Titer Antibodi Terhadap Avian Influenza Dalam Serum Ayam Petelur yang Divaksin Dengan Vaksin Komersial
ABSTRACT: The advantages of
vaccination are that it reduces the risk of infection, and concurrently reduces
morbidity, mortality and shedding of virus. The goal of the present study was
to evaluate efficacy of Avian Influenza commercial vaccine based on humoral
immunity responses of laying hens. Totally, 20 breakel silver layer hens were
used in this research. The laying hens were vaccinated using Avian Influenza
commercial vaccine (H5N1). Blood samples were collected from the axilaris vein
(left or rigt) one time at prevaccination and repeated three times with an
interval of one month at postvaccination. Antibody titres were examined using
Hemaglutination Inhibition (HI). The result showed that Avian Influenza commercial
vaccine (H5N1) was a good protection because the vaccine was able to trigger
protective humoral immunity of laying hens indicated by increasing of antibody
titre in serum of vaccinated laying hens during three months.
