Abstract
The invention relates to blending eggs from all egg lots produced over a predetermined time period of the egg laying cycle of immunized avians, to form an antibody-containing substance. The administration of an effective amount of such a blended antibody-containing substance to a subject increases the efficacy of the antibody in the subject over that of administering a substance containing the same amount of antibody obtained from eggs collected over less than the predetermined period of time.
