An experiment was carried out with day-old "Sonali" (♂RIR$\times$♀Fayoumi) chicks to investigate the efficacy of locally made low cost brooders for brooding chicks in rural areas. Three types of indigenous brooders viz. charcoal, haricane and sawdust brooders were used for brooding chicks throughout the experimental period of 28 days. The efficiency of the brooders was observed in respect of their ability to maintain temperature, fluctuation in temperature during operation and cost effectiveness. Following initial trial of temperature maintenance for 48 h, the chicks were put under the brooder stoves and brooded up to 28 days. The experimental birds were fed on chick starter diet. Maintenance of temperature with sawdust brooders was found satisfactory and optimum for brooding the chicks at different stages of brooding and at the same time involved least cost for brooding in comparison with charcoal and haricane brooders which did not perform well in generating heat necessary for brooding and were not economically feasible for poor farmers. On the other hand, performance of charcoal brooders was better in respect of temperature maintenance during initial stage (when the brooder was started) but the temperature fluctuated rapidly, whereas fluctuation of temperature was gradual in sawdust brooders. Body weight gain and feed conversion were best in sawdust brooders. Survivability was highest in sawdust brooders and lowest in haricane brooders. Sawdust brooders may be appropriate for brooding chicks in rural areas, where electricity is not available.

파유미 종 닭에 계두 및 구두 백신을 접종하고 2종의 백신에 대한 방어 능력을 방글라대쉬의 야외의 닭 사육 조건에서 비교하였다. 'Take reaction'의 수율을 평가하여 이것을 더 나은 면역 반응과 관련지어 해석하였으며, 그룹 B와 그룹 C의 닭은 각각 93.33%와 100%의 면역 반응을 보여주었다. 1차 예방접종에 따른 평균 PHA 항체가는 B와 C 그룹에서 각각 $32{\pm}14.81$과 $33{\pm}13.66$으로 나타났다. 보강 접종 후 평균 PHA 항체가는 B 및 C 그룹의 전 처리군에서는 $46.93{\pm}16.52$와 $55.46{\pm}14.64$이었으며, 공격접종 2주 후 시점에서 향체가는 각각 $93.86{\pm}33.04$와 $110.93{\pm}29.29$로 나타났다. PHA 항체가는 백신 접종 후와 접종 후 처치군들에서 백신접종 전 항체가에 비해 현저하게 증가함을 보여주었다. 이렇게 현저한 PHA 항체가의 차이는 사용한 백신의 종류가 다양함으로 인해 발생되는 것이기도 하였으나, 백신 접종을 받은 모든 닭들은 감염에 대한 저항력을 보여주었다.

The humoral immune response of chicken vaccinated with fowl and pigeon pox virus vaccines was determined with the protective potentiality of the two vaccines in field condition of Bangladesh. Different aged Fayoumi chicks were subjected for the study. To assess the relationship with better immune response among experimental groups, the average percentage of 'take reaction' was examined and recorded to 97.77% in group A, 93.33% in group B and 100.0% in group C. The level of immune status induced by different vaccinated group was measured by passive hemagglutination (PHA) microplate test method. The mean PHA titer levels after primary vaccination were $33.06{\pm}14.13$ in group A, $32.0{\pm}14.81$ in group B, and $33.0{\pm}13.66$ in group C. Following booster vaccination, the mean PHA titer levels in prior of challenge were increased to $55.46{\pm}14.64$ in groups A and C, and $46.93{\pm}16.52$ in group B. The recorded PHA titer levels of each group at two weeks after challenge were significantly increased to $106.66{\pm}31.22$, $93.86{\pm}33.04$ and $110.93{\pm}29.29$, respectively. The PHA titer levels after vaccination and challenge were significantly increased compared to pre-vaccination titer levels (P<0.01). Although the PHA titer levels among three groups administrated different vaccine combinations in prior of challenge were significantly varied (P<0.01), it was observed that all of the vaccinated chicks were highly protected against challenge infection.
