A composition comprises treated immunized camelid milk in an acceptable carrier for the treatment or prevention of gastrointestinal infections. Preferably the camelid is from the genus camelus, llama or vicuna and is preferably camelus dromedarius (dromedary or Arabian camel or Indian camel). The camelid is preferably immunized with a gastrointestinal pathogen selected from Escherichia coli (E. coli), Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), Salmonella enterica (S. enterica), Shigella dysenteriae (S. dysentriae), Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) or Yersinia enterocolitica (Y. enterocolitica). A process for preparing the composition is outlined comprising: immunizing a female camelid with a vaccine of E. coli, H. pylori, C. jejuni, S. enterica, S. dysentriae, C. perfringens or Y. enterocolitica; obtaining milk from the camelid; treating the milk at a temperature of 0oC for 1-2 hours and centrifuging at 15000rpm to remove lipids; treating the milk with rennin or acetic acid to reduce protein content; pasteurising the milk at a temperature ranging from 65oC to 72oC for 15 minutes; and preparing the milk in an acceptable carrier to be used for gastrointestinal infections. |
