Mean AIV-H9N2 shedding titers (log10 EID50/ml) and rates detected in tracheal swabs of different groups (n=6). VAC, vaccinated; PV, post-vaccination; PC, post-challenge; G1, negative control; G2, unvaccinated + H9N2 challenged (Ch); G3, unvaccinated + supplemented + Ch; G4, VAC + Ch; and G5, VAC + supplemented + Ch. The supplements (vitamin C, 1 g/l and AG, 1% ration) were given for 5 weeks PV. *Positive shedders ratio = Number of positive quail shedding virus/number of tested quails. Shedding titers (log10 EID50/ml) are expressed as mean ± SD. The limit of detection was 0.5 log10 EID50/ml. Means (mean ± SD) with the same letter in the same period are not significantly different at P < 0.05
