What if an egg could provide a targeted tool for supporting gut health in livestock?
In Episode 81 of Ruminate This, Dr. Larry Roth joins Scott Zehr to take a closer look at IgY antibodies, egg-derived proteins that target specific pathogens in the digestive tract.
Larry explains how IgY works, why it remains active in the gut, and how it can work alongside probiotics and other animal health strategies. The conversation covers pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, rotavirus, coronavirus, and Cryptosporidium, with a focus on the practical application of IgY in livestock.
Whether you raise calves, manage a dairy, formulate diets, or work with livestock producers, this episode offers a practical look at the science behind IgY and how this targeted approach can fit into a comprehensive gut health program.
