Abstract: Five kinds of infectious bursal disease (IBD) immune complex (IC) vaccines were prepared with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) BX strain mixed with IBDV hyperimmune serum according to a certain proportion (containing 32, 8, 4, 0.5 and 0.125 units IBDV neutralizing antibody, respectively).One-day old low maternal antibody chickens were vaccinated with IBD IC vaccines 1 to 5 and BX strain live vaccine, respectively, pathological changes of the bursa of fabricius in chickens were observed at the 9th day after immunization.On the day of 28 after immunization, blood samples were taken and the IBDV neutralizing antibody were tested, meanwhile all experimental chickens were challenged with high virulent IBDV, the protective rates of vaccines were calculated.The results showed that at the 9th day after immunization, the bursa of fabricius were normal in IC vaccine 1, 2 and 3 groups, however 2/10, 4/10 and 5/10 of pathological changes of the bursa of fabricius in IC vaccine 4, 5 groups and BX strain vaccine group, respectively.At the 28th day after immunization, the IBDV neutralizing antibodies in IC vaccine 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 groups and BX strain vaccine group were 8.34log2, 9.60log2, 9.21log2, 7.88log2, 9.50log2 and 9.12log2, while 90%, 100%, 100%, 80%, 90% and 80% protection rates were provided, respectively.The results showed that IBD IC vaccines 2 and 3 (containing 8, 4 units IBDV neutralizing antibody, respectively) had the best immunity effect on one-day old low maternal antibody chickens, protection rates were both 100%.
