Vaccines Containing Viruses Involved in Avian Malabsorption Syndrome and Methods of Administration Therefor

摘要

The causative agent(s) of Avian Malabsorption Syndrome (MAS) are isolated and used to prepare vaccines for use in the prevention of diseases resultant therefrom. The vaccines contain at least two avian viruses-the reovirus and adenovirus-and optionally include another virus which inflicts poultry. The viruses may be live, attenuated live, or inactivated when incorporated into the vaccine. The vaccine itself may be administered in ovo, to new-born or growing chicks, or to adult fowl.
