Abstract

The value of bovine colostrums is documented in clinical observations and supported by large database. An antibacterial effect and modulation of the immune response are accepted. The wide spectrum of the activity of a lactoferrin or a proline-rich polipeptide complex was confirmed in experimental and clinical studies. Moreover, a high concentration of immunoglobulins in bovine colostrum gives exceptional opportunity for use it as a support in immunodeficiency treatment.
