Popis: | The present study investigated the effects of dietary arginine (Arg) supplementation on immune functions of broiler chickens inoculated with infectious bursal disease vaccine (IBDV). A total of 500 one-day-old female Ross (308) broilers were randomly assigned into 10 treatments (5 replicates per treatment, 10 birds per replicate). On day 14, birds were inoculated intramuscularly with IBDV or saline. Birds were fed diets containing one of five dietary Arg concentrations: 9.9, 13.9, 17.6, 21.3, or 25.3 g/kg respectively. The IBDV inoculation significantly reduced (P |
