The broiler industry in the Middle East (ME) faces many challenges related to bacterial infections, including  M. gallisepticum, M. synoviae ,  E. coli,  and other gram-negative bacteria, exacerbated by various errors in the brooding process. Antibiotics use in the first three days of life, such as Linco-Spectin 100 SP, tilmicosin, enrofloxacin, tylosin, colistin, and doxycycline, is the trend in the market to control such challenges. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the newly introduced  aroA E. coli  vaccine (Poulvac  E. coli ) and its ability to reduce over-reliance on the heavy use of antibiotics in the ME. The study was conducted on 160 broiler chicks, divided into eight even groups. Each group was treated differently in terms of antibiotic therapy and ages at the time of Poulvac  E. coli  administration and the challenge of virulent avian pathogenic  E. coli  (APEC), serotype O78. Spray application of Poulvac  E. coli  at seven days of age plus Linco-Spectin 100 SP during the first three days provided the best results for zero mortality after challenge with APEC, while Poulvac  E. coli  at seven days with enrofloxacin during the early three days resulted in 10% mortality. Poulvac  E. coli  hatchery vaccination protected birds against mortality but reduced body weight gain compared to the 7-day group vaccinated with Linco-Spectin 100 SP during the first three days. Poulvac  E. coli  given on day one or day seven did not affect the immune response to concurrent respiratory viral vaccines and, in some cases, improved response. This study shows that Poulvac  E. coli  at seven days of age, together with Linco-Spectin 100 during the first three days, has produced the best results in terms of protection and performance in the ME high presence of avian pathogenic  E. coli  field challenge.
