Abstract
Abstract A method of treating an adult animal to successfully resist infectious diseases includes orally administering to the animal a mixture of an animal feed and the additive produced by the following process at the rate of one to two pounds of additive per ton of animal feed: collecting bovine colostrum milk, removing substantially all of the fat from the colostrum milk, removing the casein from the colostrum milk to obtain bovine colosteral whey, dialyzing the whey, adjusting the pH of the dialysate to 4.0 to 4.5, precipitating the whey, removing the supernatant from the precipitated whey, clarifying the supernatant, adding a water, saline and phenol mixture to the clarified supernatant to obtain the desired concentration, sterilizing the mixture, and drying the mixture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A method of treating an adult animal to successfully resist infectious diseases including orally administering to said animal a mixture of an animal feed and an additive at the rate of 1 to 2 pounds of additive per ton of animal feed: said additive produced by the process of collecting bovine colostrum milk including antibodies particular to said infectious diseases, removing substantially all of the fat from the colostrum milk, removing the casein from the colostrum milk to obtain bovine colosteral whey, dialyzing the whey, adjusting the pH of the dialysate to 4.0-4.5, precipitating the whey, removing the supernatant from the precipitated whey, clarifying the supernatant, adding a water, saline and phenol mixture to the clarified supernatant to obtain the desired concentration, sterilizing the mixture, and drying the mixture.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
129 words
A method of treating an adult animal to successfully resist infectious diseases including orally administering to said animal a mixture of an animal feed and an additive at the rate of 1 to 2 pounds of additive per ton of animal feed: said additive produced by the process of collecting bovine colostrum milk including antibodies particular to said infectious diseases, removing substantially all of the fat from the colostrum milk, removing the casein from the colostrum milk to obtain bovine colosteral whey, dialyzing the whey, adjusting the pH of the dialysate to 4.0-4.5, precipitating the whey, removing the supernatant from the precipitated whey, clarifying the supernatant, adding a water, saline and phenol mixture to the clarified supernatant to obtain the desired concentration, sterilizing the mixture, and drying the mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said adult animal is other than cattle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said infectious diseases include mastitis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the antibodies particular to mastitis are naturally occurring in the bovine colostrum milk.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the mixture is air dried.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the step of drying the mixture includes mixing said mixture with egg albumin to produce a resultant mixture, thereby stabilizing the mixture and maintaining the viability thereof, and freeze drying said resultant mixture.
