Abstract
The efficacy of chicken egg yolk immunoglobulins (yIg) from hens immunized with bovine rotavirus (BRV) serotype G6 (strain Shimane) or serotype G10 (strain KK-3) for protection against homologous BRV in calves was investigated. A significant protection by anti-BRV yIg having 6400 neutralizing antibody titer per dose could be achieved in calves (P < 0.01).
