Description

Comprehensive data examining the pattern and repeatability of ascarid-specific antigen excretion in chicken faeces and the diagnostic accuracy of copro-antigen measurements compared to McMaster egg counts and antibody measurements in laying hens.

The dataset consists of observations and measurements obtained from a controlled study involving laying hens infected with mixed Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum. A total of 179 individual hens were monitored between wpi 2 and 18 and their fecal samples/blood samples were collected at specific time points. Faecel samples were repeatedly collected four(4) consecutive times in one wpi.Hence antigen measurements is 4 X 179 = 716 measurements
