Effect of experimental treatments on antibody titers against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and avian influenza virus (AIV) at 28 days of age and sheep red blood cells (SRBC) at 31 days of age, and heterophil to lymphocyte and albumin to globulin ratios at 42 days of age.

SEM = standard error of mean; H:L = heterophil to lymphocyte ratio; A:G = albumin to globulin ratio.
