Oral administration of chicken NK-lysin or recombinant chicken IL-7 improves vaccine efficacy of Eimeria tenella elongation factor-1α (EF-1α) against coccidiosis in commercial broiler chickens

ABSTRACT: The synergistic effects of orally-delivered chicken NK-lysin peptide 2 (cNK-2) or recombinant chicken IL-7 (rchIL-7) on vaccination with recombinant Eimeria elongation factor-1α (rEF-1α) against Eimeria maxima (E. maxima) infection was investigated in broiler chickens. Chickens were divide...
