Abstract
A limulus test-positive plant glycolipid having the following properties: molecular weight: 8000 .+-.1000 by SDS electrophoresis, number of phosphorous not less than 1/mol; number of hexosamine 6 .+-.2/mol; number of fatty acids 6 .+-.2/mol is effective in the stimulation of osteogenesis, oviposition and shell strength improvement in animals. The glycolipid may be administered as a composition comprising an effective amount of the glycolipid in admixture with a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable carrier, such that when administered to an animal, the immune system of the animal is favorably stimulated.
