Context: Vaccination has been reported as the only safeguard against endemic ND.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of vaccine against the Newcastle (ND) in layer chicken.
Materials and methods: A serological examination was to measure the efficacy of antibodies of Newcastle disease virus in layer poultry birds. It was carried out at Rajshahi and Pabna Districts of Bangladesh. The serum samples were collected from different commercial layer farms from the period of July, 2013 to June, 2016. Samples were divided into several groups according to their influencing factors age, breed, color, farming system and atmospheric temperature of layer. Haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test was performed to determine the serum antibodies against ND virus.
Results: The average antibody titre (6.70±0.02) of Newcastle disease was recorded by using various vaccines. Significantly (P<0.05) higher antibody titre was observed in Bovans White strain (6.79±0.03) and lowest in Novogen white strain (6.43±0.04). The age and atmospheric temperature had significant effect (P<0.05) on antibody titre of ND, but no significant (P>0.05) effect among the color and farming system. . The highest to lowest titer value was 6.85±0.32, 6.64±0.04 and 6.56±0.07 against the housing system of good, medium and poor respectively. Highest performance were found at temperature 20° to < 28°c (6.79±0.03) and highest to lowest are above 28°c (6.71±0.04) lowest(<20°c).
Conclusion: Finally, RDV which manufactured by Department of Livestock Services was found best efficacy against ND was suitable for the protection ND in Bangladesh.
