Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this thesis was to determine the anticoccidial profile of Eimeria spp. derived from wild turkeys. These drug-sensitive Eimeria spp. have potential to be used as vaccine candidates to control coccidiosis in commercial turkeys. Chapter two consists of a brief literature review focused on coccidiosis in turkeys. Chapter three addresses the methodologies utilized to isolate, recover, and speciate Eimeria recovered from wild turkey feces in the eastern two-thirds of the United States. From this, we successfully obtained single oocyst-derived stocks for E. meleagrimitis, E. dispersa, E. meleagridis, E. gallopavonis, and E. adenoeides. Chapter four describes the experiment conducted …

Precautions For Day Old Fowl Pox Vaccination, P Smetana
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING 1962 day old vaccination was widely adopted as a preventative measure against fowl pox.
From June, 1961, until mid-June, 1962, this procedure proved to be highly successful, but from this date onwards a proportion of treated flocks became affected by breakdowns accompanied by mortality and retarded growth.
In some cases the losses were disturbingly high.
Day-Old Fowl Pox Vaccination, P Smetana
Day-Old Fowl Pox Vaccination, P Smetana
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FOR many years the standard procedure for fowl pox prevention on West Australian poultry farms has been to vaccinate young stock at 12 weeks of age. Although most farmers have used this system successfully it has a number of weaknesses which can be overcome by day-old vaccination.
A new day-old fowl pox vaccine now on the market has many advantages over the normal vaccine, which is used at about 12 weeks old.
In tests at the Poultry Research Station it gave satisfactory results.
