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.
