[Effect of hyperimmune antibovine rabbit serum (blood) on the growth and reactivity of hypotrophic pigs].

Abstract

Investigated was the influence of hyperimmune antibovine rabbit serum (blood) on the growth and reactivity in hypotrophic pigs. The sample pigs were injected subcutaneously 2 times (with interval 15 days) with 0.5 cm3 solution of lyophilized blood, extracted from immunized with bovine serum rabbits. For a solvent was used 10% solution of Vitamin C. The used in the experiment serum had a titer over 10,000, total albumin--20.15, albumin--7.26, alpha-globulin--3.22, beta-globulin--1.62, gamma-globulin--8.05 mmol/l. The control pigs were treated with the solvent. It was established, that for 30 days the daily growth of the control pigs was bigger with 100 g in comparison with the experimental pigs. Reliably was increased (P less than 0.02) the aggregate phagocytic ability of the blood. The average haemoglobin content and the haematocrit were on the limit of reliability (P less than 0.05). The common condition of the experimental pigs was much better. It was prepared a stable blood medicine, suitable for long storage, easily applicable in the industrial pig farming.
