“…The good example is ROMVAC Company offering several products based on IgY (IMUNOINSTANT brand). The company has several national patents describing the production, processing, and application of IgYs [for example ( 425 , 426 )], and the antibody activity was presented in scientific literature ( 357 ). Considering the costs of infrastructure required for IgY antibody production, low to moderate prices of raw antibodies or ready to use products, and generally low market interest, the slow growth of the IgY product range is understandable.…”

There has been an increasing interest in using Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) antibodies as an alternative to “classical” antimicrobials. Unlike traditional antibiotics, they can be utilized on a continual basis without leading to the development of resistance. The veterinary IgY antibody market is growing because of the demand for minimal antibiotic use in animal production. IgY antibodies are not as strong as antibiotics for treating infections, but they work well as preventative agents and are natural, nontoxic, and easy to produce. They can be administered orally and are well tolerated, even by young animals. Unlike antibiotics, oral IgY supplements support the microbiome that plays a vital role in maintaining overall health, including immune system function. IgY formulations can be delivered as egg yolk powder and do not require extensive purification. Lipids in IgY supplements improve antibody stability in the digestive tract. Given this, using IgY antibodies as an alternative to antimicrobials has garnered interest. In this review, we will examine their antibacterial potential.
