About IgY Antibodies feed supplement

Egg yolk antibodies (IgY) as non-antibiotic production enhancers. Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) occurs when a 

microorganism is able to survive in the presence of antibiotics at a concentration that would normally inhibit their growth. 

Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria are able to survive and thrive through natural selection.

 Multidrug resistance (MDR) refers to bacteria that are resistant to at least three classes of antibiotics. It arises from the 

presence of resistance-associated genes in the bacterial genome. IgY is an isotype of immunoglobulin found in birds. 

Large-scale production of antigen-specific IgY can be obtained from eggs laid by immunizing hens with the specific 

antigens. Passive immunization using IgY is a promising alternative approach to combat the emergence of new and current 

drug-resistant pathogens.
