Abstract: | A recent study suggests that artificial Ascardia galli infection has no effect on performance and egg quality of free-range laying hens from the point of lay until 40 weeks of age (Sharma et al., 2017). However, the lower hepatic lipid reserve of infected hens observed in the same study indicated the potential for A. galli to affect production at a later stage. In this study, serum and yolk antibody levels of A. galli were measured to investigate the immune response to natural infection in hens with different infection levels. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Name: | Australian Poultry Science Symposium, Sydney, Australia, 04-Feb-2018 | Source of Publication: | Immune response following Ascaridia galli infection in free-range laying hens, v.29, p. 225-225 | Publisher: | The Poultry Research Foundation & The World's Poultry Science Association (Australian Branch) | Place of Publication: | Sydney, Australia | ISSN: | 1034-6260 | Field of Research (FOR): | 070299 Animal Production not elsewhere classified 070203 Animal Management 070705 Veterinary Immunology |
