Product and process for transferring passive immunity to newborn domestic animals using ultrafiltered whey containing immunoglobulins

摘要: The present invention relates to a product and process for assuring the transfer of adequate passive immunity newborn domestic animals. Immunologically active immunoglobulins are extracted from whey byproduct dairy manufacturing by using ultrafiltration techniques separate large immuoglobulin molecules whey. retentate is dried produce filtered having high concentration immunoglobulins. dry assayed verify immunological activity measure distribution pathogen specific antibodies. stored. Subsequently, dose containing at least minimum weight ratio immunologically Ig fed animal immunity. Ion exchange can be combined with significantly increase in ultimate while simultanously reducing net cost producing product. They whey-derived may also used on continuous basis as food supplement an enable immunoglobulin attack pathogens digestive system animal.
