Inactivated Newcastle disease virus (NDV), avian influenza virus (AIV), and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) antigens were evaluated for immunological efficacy in monovalent and polyvalent vaccines. Vaccinated broilers were bled for hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) tests at 1- or 2-week intervals. Half of the chickens were challenged with the Largo isolate of velogenic viscerotropic (VV) NDV at 8 weeks post-vaccination, and the remainder were challenged with the Massachusetts 41 strain IBV at 9 weeks post-vaccination. Newcastle disease HI titers were reduced significantly (P less than 0.05) from those of monovalent control vaccine groups when IBV antigen was emulsified in mixtures with low (1-3x) concentrated NDV or NDV and AIV antigens. Avian influenza HI titers were significantly (P less than 0.05) lower than those of the control monovalent groups when highly concentrated NDV was part of the polyvalent vaccine. Infectious bronchitis HI titers were higher than those of control monovalent groups in 13 of 15 vaccine groups when IBV antigen was in polyvalent formulations. VV NDV challenge killed all non-NDV vaccinates and induced increased HI titers in NDV vaccinates but no morbidity or mortality. Sixty of 80 IBV vaccinates experienced a fourfold or greater HI titer increase following challenge. All non-IBV vaccinates seroconverted at 1 week post-challenge.
