Rapid serological profiling by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IV. Association of infectious bursal disease serology with broiler flock performance.

Breeder and broiler flocks were serologically evaluated using a multiple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (M-ELISA). The serologic status of two commercial broiler-breeder flocks and their progeny was monitored, and 840 sera were promptly assessed for antibodies against six infectious agents using the M-ELISA. Breeder flocks were sampled at lay, and broiler chicks were hatched from fertile eggs collected on the scheduled lay date of the breeders. The broiler chicks were placed for growout as eight separate flocks (four from each breeder), and the serologic survey of broilers included sequentially sampling each flock five times between 1 day of age and market. Association of broiler vaccination schedules, mortality, and condemnation data with the temporal serologic data obtained indicated that the earlier appearance of active antibody against infectious bursal disease (IBD) in some unvaccinated flocks was associated with subsequent higher growout mortality and with the poorer overall performance that these flocks experienced. The results of this serologic survey also demonstrated that if a constant, well-timed monitoring program had not been used, major serologic differences between flocks would not have been detected. Serologic profiles of selected broiler flocks by virus-neutralization (VN) tests for infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and reovirus or by hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) tests for Newcastle disease virus (NDV) compared favorably with the serologic profiles obtained by M-ELISA. Comparison of vaccination histories with serologic results derived from M-ELISA, VN or HI tests indicated that response to vaccination for IBV and NDV at 1 day was either blocked or significantly delayed by moderate levels of maternal antibody and/or were suppressed by an apparent field outbreak of IBD that occurred in all eight broiler flocks.
