Abstract
The risk that the health of pregnant animals and their young will be impaired by gastro-intestinal infection is reduced by oral administration of endotoxins of the relevant pathogenic organisms to the pregnant animals. Combination of oral and parenteral administration is particularly beneficial, whether the animal is pregnant or not, in boosting immunological capacity. This technique is especially beneficial for mammals whose young acquire their passive immunity via the colostrum and hence through the gastro-intestinal wall, such as pigs, cows and sheep.
