Validation of Egg Yolk Antibody Testing as a Method to Determine Influenza Status in White Leghorn Hens
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Determination of the avian influenza (AI) status of a flock has traditionally been done by detection of serum antibodies. However, for many diseases, detection of antibodies in egg yolk has been effective in monitoring the disease status of laying flocks. This study compared the utility of egg yolk vs. serum for determining AI status in laying hen flocks. Specific-pathogen-free white leghorn hens were inoculated...
