SUMMARY.
Young poultry are very susceptible to Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) infections because of the absence of complete
intestinal flora colonization and an immature immune system.
This study evaluated the role of passive immunity on the resistance
of young birds against early infections caused by SE.
The progeny of broiler breeders vaccinated with an oil-emulsion bacterin was
compared to the progeny of unvaccinated birds.
Efficacy was determined by challenging birds at 1 a
