Summary
 


Twelve calves were divided into two groups, each contains six calves. The first group was vaccinated with the inactivated alhydragel Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine.

 
 
 


The second one was vaccinated with inactivated vaccine and ultracorn (complete lysate of Corynebacterium cutis) intramuscularly injected simultaneously.

 
 
 


The immune response estimated by using serum neutralization test and ELISA revealed that the antibody titres of the FMD vaccines with ultracorn in calves appeared earlier and higher at the first six weeks post vaccination than that of FMD vaccinated alone and the calves persisted for 16 weeks post vaccination for both.
