The Efficacy of Inactivated Oil Emulsion Newcastle Disease Vaccine

The preparation of an experimenta1 oi1 emulsion Newcastle disease vaccine is described and its efficacy was evaluated in broiler chickens. A plaque purified clone of Mukteswar strain of Newcastle disease virus designated UPM-AC/2 was used for the preparation of the vaccine. The virus had a titre of 10^11 fifty percent egg infective dose. The vaccine virus was inactivated with betapropiolac tone at a final concentration of 0.1 percent. The vaccine was prepared by mixing the antigen with variable concentration of Arlacel A and Tween 80. Two types of vaccines were prepared, a single oil emulsion and a double oil emulsion vaccine. Both vaccines were evaluated for their stability, viscosity emulsion type, safety and antibody response in chicken. The double emulsion vaccine containing 6% Arlacel A and 1.5% Tween 80 had low viscosity and was stable for at least 6 months at room temperature. The vaccine induced marked antibody response in chickens which were previously vaccinated with lentogenic live Newcastle disease vaccine. The vaccine was also evaluated for its efficacy in broiler chickens which had been previously vaccinated with live Newcastle disease vaccine. Broiler chickens which had been vaccinated when day old with the live Newcastle disease vaccine and revaccinated when 3 weeks and 8 weeks old with the emulsion vaccine were protected when challenged with a viscerotropic velogenic Newcastle disease virus. Between 90 to 100 percent of the vaccinated chickens were resistant to the challenge compared to 100% mortality in the non vaccinated control chickens

Oil Rent and Economic Growth in Indonesia

This study aimed to analyze the effect of direct and  indirect oil rents for Indonesia's economic growth through trade openness, human capital, quality of institutions and genuine savings. This study uses secondary data for the period 1980 to 2010, sourced from several institutions such as the BPS, World Bank, BP Migas, and the PRS Group. The method of analysis used in this research is the analysis of the path (path analysis), which assisted with the package SPSS version 16.00. In this study found that the oil rent has no direct negative effect on economic growth in Indonesia, and has an indirect negative effect on economic growth in Indonesia through the quality of institutions. From the research each oil rents increased by 1 point will cause a decrease in the quality of institutions in Indonesia by 0.6 points. And any increase or decrease in the quality of institutions by 1 point, would cause an increase or decrease in Indonesia's economic growth by 0.5 points. So the results of this study indicate that the quality of the institution serves as a transmission mechanism of the resource curse in Indonesia. This research also found that the oil rent significant positive effect of trade openness and trade openness significant negative effect on economic growth. So we can conclude that trade openness is not a transmission mechanism negative relationship between oil rents and economic growth in Indonesia. The results of this study support empirical research Rosser (2007) that Indonesia can avoid the resource curse in Indonesia and one way is to prevent the Dutch disease. The results of this study showed no evidence of a negative indirect effect of oil rents on economic growth through human capital and a genuine saving.
