Abstract
Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) is a class of antibodies of major importance in birds, reptiles,
amphibians, and lungfish, which play a similar role to mammalian IgG. Egg yolk has been
shown to be a convenient source of polyclonal antibodies. That it has been used because it is
an inexpensive and effective source of antibodies and because it is a therapy that reduces
bleeding in laboratory animals and is minimally invasive. The production of IgY antibodies
is influenced by a series of factors such as the type of antigen to be used, the dose, the
adjuvant used, the route of application, the frequency of inoculation, the age and the stage of
development. In birds, it is a technique that has been used with a wide variety of antigens.
Likewise, the route that has been most used for the production of IgY in chickens is the
intramuscular route, in which the inoculation is usually in the muscle. of the breast, is a
therapy that has been used more and more due to its great advantages.
