Vaccination of village chickens against Newcastle disease

The poultry farming in South East Asia is characterised by the backyard type operation where 10 to 20 chickens are raised per household. Since these chickens are let loose during the day, they are seldom vaccinated against Newcastle disease. To overcome the problem of vaccination an oral Newcastle disease was developed. A heat stable clone of the V4 Newcastle virus was incorporated into pelletised chicken feed. The oral vaccine is highly imnunogenic and chicken fed with pelleted fed containing the vaccine is protected against the virulent Newcastle disease virus.
