Abstract

Turkey herpesvirus (HVT) vector vaccine expressing hemagglutinin from the H9N2 AIV, namely HVT-H9, were demonstrated to block H9N2 AIV infection and transmission in chickens. In this study, we evaluated the protection efficiency and production performance of broilers in HVT-H9 field trials in the presence or absence of the H9N2 AIV natural infection. HI titers against H9N2 AIV in broilers harboring maternal antibodies were successfully induced by HVT-H9. In the presence of H9N2 AIV natural infection, immunization with HVT-H9 blocked H9N2 AIV infection and reduced the mortality rate. Importantly, HVT-H9 vaccination slightly increased broiler weight and decreased the feed conversion rate in the absence of the H9N2 AIV natural infection but significantly reduced mortality rates and increased production efficiency during the H9N2 AIV natural infection. In summary, HVT-H9 immunization might block H9N2 AIV infection and improve production efficiency in the field, especially in the presence of H9N2 AIV natural infection.
