ABSTRACT
The immunogenecity of combined Turkey RhinoTrachitis Virus [TRTV] and Pasterella multocida inactivated oil emulsion vaccine were evaluated in comparison to both the monovalent [TRT] and [P. Multoocida] vaccines. Sixty turkeys poults were divided into four groups, group 1, 2, and 3 were vaccinated with [TRTV], Pasterella multocida and combined [TRTV + Pasterella multocida] vaccines respectively while group 4 was kept as non vaccinated control, obtained results of cellular [Detected by lypmphocyte blastogenesis assay] and Humoral [Detected by indirect haemagglutination IHA, Enzyme linked Immuno Sorbant assay ELISA, and Serum neutralization test S.N.T] immune responses of experimentally vaccinated poults revealed that 2 successive doses of the prepared vaccines with 21 days apart produce protective immune response started at 3 weeks post vaccination and lasted for 12 weeks covering the whole fattening period

A combined bivalent alhydragel vaccine against both duck plague virus [DPV] and duck virus hepatitis [DVH] was prepared. The efficacy of the new vaccine was evaluated in different groups of ducklings compared with a single vaccine against each virus alone. Evaluation depended upon estimation of both humoral and cellular immune response. The prepared combined vaccine offered a high titre against each virus. Obtained results have shown that the antibody titre obtained with the new vaccine are never inferior to the titres obtained with the separate single vaccine
