In the present study, efficacy of a locally prepared Salmonella Kentucky killed vaccine had been studied. A totalof 120, two weeks old specific pathogen free (SPF) chicks were divided into two groups; 60 chicks each. Firstgroup was vaccinated with the prepared vaccine at the age of two weeks and boostered at four weeks, the secondgroup was kept unvaccinated as a control group. The two groups were challenged orally with 1 ml of SalmonellaKentucky (5x107 CFU/ml), 3 weeks post boostering of the vaccine. The degree of protection was assessedaccording to the severity of the clinical signs, the mortality and fecal shedding of the challenged organisms. Bloodsamples were collected weekly after first vaccination till fourth week after challenge and humoral immuneresponse was measured against Salmonella strains using ELISA and microagglutination test. The prepared vaccineinduced 80% protection rate in challenge test with reduced fecal shedding.
