A preparation with antibody activity is prepared from colostrum of non-immunized mammals extracted during the first 30 hours, preferably however during the first 10 hours, following parturition. The colostrum is diluted with water, pasteurized, and after removal of the casein and fat, concentrated and stabilized. The preparation has a high immunoglobulin content (>80 %) and low anticomplementary activity. It can be administered orally in humans and intravenously in veterinary medicine. It can be used successfully, alone or in combination with other pharmaceutical substances, to treat bacteria- or toxin-induced diseases, in particular severe diarrhea in AIDS patients and other immunological disorders, travellers' diarrhea and toxin-induced infantile diarrhea, gastric and intestinal ulcers, as well as chronic and acute Yersinia infections, and to combat protozoa. |
