Abstract

This study was done to assess the antibody titre values of Nigerian indigenous and exotic chickens challenged with Salmonella enteritidis. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent assay was used to detect chicken antibody titre response against Salmonella enterica serotypes Enteritidis. The assays engaged soluble bacterial proteins to detect antigen. Total of 150 birds used comprised of Fulani ecotype (50), Sasso (50) and Naked neck (50) chickens but five birds were taken at random per genotypes for antibody titre. The antigen results revealed that the Nigerian indigenous chickens have better resistance and response to the inoculated S. enteriditis. In conclusion, Fulani ecotype and Naked neck has a better response and high antibody titre to the inoculated S. enteriditis
