: The guidelines applicable for the investigation has appropriately followed international, national, and/or institutional guidelines for the care and use of animals. As per the discussion with the members of the Animal Ethical Committee of the University, the permission of the ethical committee is not necessary since the animals are neither sacrificed nor killed nor anesthetised nor narcotized nor etherised nor harmed during the investigation. Further, for this particular investigation, only 2 ml of blood per species of different age groups and different sexes is required which is collected during the routine test of the birds of Central Poultry Development Organisation (CPDO), Government of India, Odisha. This causes neither any injury nor pain to the birds as blood is collected by professional veterinary doctors of the farm.
