Prepubertal Exposure to the Live Attenuated Avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus Induces Epididymal Stones in the Rooster after Puberty
2006
The Journal of Poultry Science
Roosters immunized prepubertally with the avian infectious bronchitis virus (AIBV) have a high incidence of epididymal calcium stones, reduced daily sperm production and lower serum testosterone as adults. The aim of the present study was to determine when and how stones are formed following vaccination with AIBV. Specific pathogen free roosters were either immunized with the live attenuated AIBV (vaccinated group, nῌ-2) or with the vehicle (nonvaccinated group, nῌ--) at " 0 and +* wk of age.
