Popis: The work was carried out to determine the immunogenicity of fowl cholera vaccine (FCV) produced by Livestock and Poultry Vaccine Research and Production Centre (LPVRPC) at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU). A total five hundred of sevenweek old Hy-sex chickens (both white and brown) were vaccinated @ 0.5 ml of 2.93×108 CFU through subcutaneous route in each selected groups such as A1, A2 and A3; and B1, B2 and B3. Booster dose was provided at 13 weeks of age in group A3 and B3. Group C was kept as unvaccinated/control. Postvaccination sera were collected at different time schedule from all the groups of birds and antibody against fowl cholera were determined by Passive haemagglutination (PHA) test. At 4 weeks of primary vaccination (11 weeks aged birds) the mean PHA titres of sera were 96.00±34.21 and 96.00±34.21in group A1 and B1 respectively. On the other hand mean PHA titres at 5-weeks following vaccination (12 weeks aged birds) were 88.00±33.12 and 96.00±34.21in group A2 and B2, respectively. After 4 weeks of booster vaccination the mean PHA titres were 104.00±33.12in A3 and 104.00±33.12 in B3 group. The mean PHA titres in chickens of unvaccinated control group C was
