ABSTRACT
Immunization against New Castle disease can be more effective by giving balanced nutrition and coordinated disease control programme. The present study is designed to determine the resistance level of HI (Haemagglutination inhibition) titre that is immune response of birds vaccinated against Newcastle disease in cross chicken (FAY x RIR) fed at different plans of nutrition. For this purpose different recipes/rations A,B,C and D was prepared and offered to chicken. Immunity level against ND was checked for about 30 days post vaccination. It was observed that there was a significantly (P<0.05) higher G.M.T at 10 and 20 days post vaccination with respect to day of vaccination and reading taken at 30 days post vaccination. This trend was observed in all the groups fed on different experimental rations. The highest G.M.T was observed in Group A while minimum G. M. T was noticed in group D. The statistical analysis revealed that G.M.T of chicken belonging to group A, B and C was significantly (P<0.05) higher than group D. This response indicated that composition of ration had significant influence on antibody titre subsequent to vaccination of chicks.
