IC vaccine likely to save India’s poultry from IBD
Panaji: India is going to be one of the leading nations in Asia to embrace the immune complex (IC) vaccine, said Dr. Marcelo Paniago, director, global veterinary services, Ceva Sante Animal, France. He was speaking on the subject of immune complex diseases at an event organized by the ICAR-CCARI, Old Goa, on Thursday.
"In India, there is a revolution in terms of nutrition, animal health and vaccines. The immune complex vaccine, in one or two years, will be available here in India. I have no doubt that the producers will rapidly adopt it because it makes their lives much easier." he said.
This vaccine is used against the infectious bursal disease (IBD) which is seen in domestic chickens worldwide. Also known as gumboro disease, IBD still remains one of the most major threats to the poultry industry. Infected birds suffer from depression, ruffled feathers and have a droopy appearance.
