Article Synopsis
- Conventional oral vaccine delivery in poultry faces challenges like vaccine breakdown in the GI tract and the requirement for cold storage.
- The study explored the use of cashew-alginate microbeads, developed through ionotropic gelation and freeze-drying, to create a more stable and protective vaccine delivery system.
- Results showed that these microbeads maintained vaccine effectiveness for three months without cold storage, indicating their potential for improving oral vaccine delivery in chickens.
This study investigated dexamethasone-treatment, shedding routes, tissue antigen distribution, and pathology of caprine Brucellosis. Eighteen non-pregnant goats were randomly grouped into A, B, and C. Group A was administered dexamethasone for 7 days at 2 mg/kg before inoculating 0.

The thrust for the development of a rapid diagnostic technique to overcome the limitations of conventional microbiological and serological tests brought about this investigation on the development and application of dot-ELISA for antigen and antibody detection in infected goats. Fifteen apparently healthy Boer aged 2-3 years which tested negative for brucellosis using PCR and ELISA, were grouped into A (10 goats infected intraocularly with 10 CFU of B.
