Abstract

A total of 420 chicken sera from various regions were tested for the presence of antibodies to avian rotavirus using indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). In broiler farms, rotavirus antibodies were detected from 20 farms among 30 farms tested and the positive rates were above 50% in 9 farms. In parent stock farms, rotavirus antibodies were detected from 5 farms among 14 farms tested. From sera collected in 7 layer farms rotavirus antibodies were not detected.
