Fowl cholera (FC) is a serious highly contagious disease, caused by bacteria Pasteurella multocida and results in major economic losses to the poultry industry through death, weight loss, and condemnations (Rimler et al., 1998; Stout and Cornwell, 1976). It’s enzootic disease and can spread easily within species. All birds species are affected with FC globally (Aravinth et al., 2016; Wilkie et al., 2000). Many outbreaks of FC are reported throughout the world (Rimler and Glisson, 1997). Therefore, vaccination is the most powerful preventive method for the control of the disease (Ahmad et al., 2014). Several inactivated vaccines with different strains are available for protection against the disease. In the present study, safety and efficacy of the newly developed monovalent inactivated vaccine based on a local Pasteurella multocida strain against Fowl Cholera disease, was studied in turkeys.
