“…Several publications are available on the relation between performance traits and immunological responses. A negative correlation was found between body weight and antibody response in broilers (Kreukniet et al, 1996;Koenen et al, 2002). This correlation was also demonstrated in layer chickens (Gross and Siegel, 1980).…”

Problem statement:The aim of this study was conducted to determine the effects of supplementing methionine and threonine higher than the National Research Council (NRC) recommendation in the diets on immune responses of broiler chickens challenged with Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD). Approach: A total of 450 day-old male broiler chicks were assigned to one of the nine dietary treatments. Three levels of methionine (NRC (M1), 2 times NRC (M2) and 3 times NRC (M3)) and 3 levels of threonine (NRC (T1), 2 times NRC (T2) and 3 times NRC (T3)) were fed. On day 28, all birds were challenged with a commercial live-IBDV vaccine. Results: Antibody titer against IBD and ND were influenced by interaction of threonine and methionine. On 7 days after IBD challenge, ND antibody titer of the broilers receiving the highest level of methionine and threonine was significantly higher than that of other treatment groups. Lesion score of the bursa of the broilers receiving control diet was significantly the highest compared with the other treatments. Conclusion/Recommendations:The results obtained on the present study indicated that threonine and methionine requirements of broiler based on recommendation of NRC are not sufficient to meet the requirement of the new commercial poultry and commercial broiler companies under non-hygienic condition.

“…These differences between broilers and layers may be caused by differences in the structure and function of lymphoid organs, such as the spleen, due to genetic selection. After selection of layer-type chickens for high and low responders to SRBC, the spleen of the high responders contained larger B-Cell areas (Kreukniet et al, 1996).…”
