Avian influenza (AI) is a serious disease of poultry, resulting in severe mortality in chickens and major disruption to production and trade (FAO, 2004). LPAI viruses cause respiratory and gastrointestinal infections without infecting the meat. By contrast, HPAI viruses produce infection of respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts and virus is present in the meat and internal contents of eggs during the acute stages of the infection (Swayne, 2004). Vaccines have been used as a tool in LPAI and HPAI eradication strategy. Avian influenza (AI) vaccines can prevent clinical signs and death in poultry, increase resistance to birds to infection, and decrease the amount of virus shed in the environment (Swayne, 2004) In the present study thirty commercial layers were divided into three groups, T1, T2 and T3 with 10 birds in each group. Group T1 served as control, Group T2 was immunized with conventional Avian influenza (AI) oil-based vaccines 0.5 ml/ bird and Group T3 was immunized with Avian influenza (AI) Liposomal vaccines 0.5 ml/ bird through sub/cut injection. Blood samples were taken and serum was separated at day 0, 7,14,21,28 and day 35. Each time at least 6 samples were taken for antibody titration through HI and AGPT. All the data for the experiment was analyzed by using the one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (Table; 20 & 21). HI AND AGPT TITRES OF SERUM SAMPLES AT 0 DAY HI and AGPT titre were employed to evaluate the comparative immunological response of commercial Oil based and Liposomal vaccines of Avian influenza (AI) in commercial Layers. In treatment group T1, birds were served as control group; T2, birds were vaccinated with Avian influenza (AI) Oil based vaccine (0.5 ml) subcutaneously and T3, birds were vaccinated with Liposomal vaccine (0.5 ml) subcutaneously. Geometric mean titres (GMT) of birds in T1, T2 and T3 by HI and AGPT were 4+1.02 at day 0. The GMT of the entire groups were low and were considered as the background reading. No significant difference was observed in the titres at day 0 in all the groups (Table 2; Fig. 2).

HI TITRES OF SERUM SAMPLES AT 7 DAY
Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) titres were evaluated to compare immunological response of commercial Oil based and Liposomal vaccines of Avian Influenza (AI) in commercial Layers. In treatment group T1, birds were served as control group; T2, birds were vaccinated with Avian Influenza (AI) Oil based vaccine (0.5 ml) subcutaneously and T3, birds were vaccinated with Avian Influenza (AI) Liposomal vaccine (0.5 ml) subcutaneously. Looking in to the data the GMT titres were marginal in group T1 (7 + 0.86) whereas, it was higher in T2 (32 + 0.722).The effect of Avian Influenza (AI) oil based vaccine in T2 was significantly higher in comparison with control group (T1). However Avian Influenza (AI) Liposomal vaccinated group (T3) was quite significant (64 + 0.722) as compared with T1 (7 + 0.86) and T2 (32 + 0.722).The data comparatively indicated that immune response in term of GMT was well established with Avian Influenza (AI) Liposomal vaccine as compared to Avian Influenza (AI) Oil based vaccine (Table 3; Fig. 3).
