dc.description.abstract	Sera from nine out of 30 (30,0 %) apparently healthy unvaccinated indigenous (Tswana) chickens had precipitating antibodies to infectious bursal disease (IBD) virus using the agar gel precipitation test. Similarly, sera from 11 out of 49 (22,4 %) chickens of exotic breeds with no history of vaccination against IBD were positive for antibodies against the virus.	en
