Evaluate the effects of Beta-glucan on white blood cell differential count, and level of viral antibody for Newcastle disease of Japanese quails


Abstract in English

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of immune enhancers such as Beta-glucan on some blood parameters of quails such as white blood cell differential count, and level of viral antibody for Newcastle disease by using the hem agglutination inhibition (HI) test . Seventy five, 1 days old Japanese quail chicks were randomly divided into three groups of 25 chicks, with similar initial average body weight.
