Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating and preventing the reoccurrence of C. diff infection by administering an immunoglobulin concentrate in conjunction with a low protein diet.

Abstract: This invention relates to the administration of an animal immunoglobulin source to mammals such as dairy cattle to improve milk production without negatively affecting reproductive parameters.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated enteropathy in subjects who have been on antiretroviral therapy by orally administering immunoglobulin/protein isolate.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating and preventing the reoccurrence of C. diff infection by administering an immunoglobulin concentrate in conjunction with a low protein diet.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating and preventing the reoccurrence of C. diff infection by administering an immunoglobulin concentrate in conjunction with a low protein diet.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for reducing, attenuating, diminishing, preventing or inhibiting pulmonary inflammation in an animal by orally administering a plasma fraction comprising at least 30% by weight IgG and 10% or less by weight IgA to said animal prior to or following exposure or challenge of the animal to an endotoxin.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for providing peak plasma amino acid concentrations through administration of an oral dose of at least 20 g of immunoglobulin concentrate.

Abstract: This invention relates to the administration of an animal immunoglobulin source to mammals such as dairy cattle to improve milk production without negatively affecting reproductive parameters.

Abstract: Methods and compostions are disclosed for modulating the immune system of animals. Applicant has identified that oral administration of immunoglobulins purified from animal blood can modulate the immune system for treatment of respiratory disease challenges, as well as modulate serum IgG levels for treatment of immune dysfunction disorders, potentiation of vaccination protocols, and improvement of overall health and weight gain in animals, including humans.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for reducing, attenuating, diminishing, preventing or inhibiting pulmonary inflammation in an animal by orally administering a plasma fraction to said animal prior to or following exposure or challenge of the animal to an endotoxin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of increasing the live weight of poultry through the administration of a plasma product to the poultry through the animals' feed and/or water. The product is effective in increasing the live weight of poultry. The product is also surprisingly effective in increasing the yield of white meat to the detriment of dark meat.

Abstract: A new protein derived from acid hydrolyzed IgG concentrate which has a molecular weight of about 55,000, and is activated by heat within the defined narrow temperature range provides resulting product that has a protective mechanism for bacterial and viral invasion of living cells.

Abstract: A method of extracting and fractionating collagen-rich proteinaceous materials and derivatives from poultry skin tissue and the development of the proteinaceous materials to collagen-based protein ingredients that can function as meat replacer, texturizer, binder/filler, stabilizer, or protective colloids in processed meat products. The insoluble and soluble collagen products, collagen-based protein ingredients, water-dispersible collagen-based protein ingredients are produced by heating, separating, and rapidly cooling the solid-phase below its melting temperature to exploit reformation of the helical forms which produces a high concentration of coils, a phenomenon that accounts for its ability to form cold-set thermal reversible gels and gel strength.

Abstract: A new protein derived from acid hydrolyzed IgG concentrate which has a molecular weight of about 55,000, and is activated by heat within the defined narrow temperature range provides resulting product that has a protective mechanism for bacterial and viral invasion of living cells.

Abstract: A feed supplement is disclosed comprising heme purified from animal blood. Animals fed this supplement experience a significantly lower average daily gain and average daily feed intake when compared with feed supplemented with fishmeal or AP 301. Only the animals fed the heme supplement exhibit improved meat quality, including improved meat color and drip loss.

Abstract: A globulin protein composition is described. The globulin concentrate is internally administered to animals including humans through food or water, or through conventional pharmaceutical dosage forms. The composition is effective in lowering blood cholesterol and phospholipids.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for the dietary modulation of the immune system and gut microbial response in animals. Applicant has identified that oral administration of a supplemental spray dried plasma purified from animal serum can modulate serum IgG levels for treatment in such things as diminished immune capacity, intestinal microbial balance, autoimmune disorders, potentiation of vaccination protocols, and improvement of overall health and weight gain in animals, including humans.
