PRODUCT AND METHOD FOR TRANSFER OF COLOSTRUM-DERIVED DISEASE PREVENTING CONSTITUENTS ACROSS THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

摘要

A method is used for producing a mixture using natural colostrum and having disease-preventing constituents. The mixture has an improved transportability across a gastrointestinal tract of an animal compared to other man-made antibody formulations. The method uses colostrum pooled from up to the first ten milkings of a postpartum animal. The pooled colostrum which has been treated to remove a fat portion is ultrafiltered to remove components having a molecular weight less than 20.000 units. The disease preventing mixture is administered orally to an animal.
