Recombinant vaccines for poultry.
The poultry industry relies on intensive farming to supply meat and eggs at relatively low cost. Many thousands of individuals are reared in enclosed houses which are left vacant for only short times between successive crops. Disease control is essential for the successful raising of poultry and this includes a need for cheap, effective vaccines against the major diseases.
