Chicken egg yolk IgY has proven to be qualified for analysis of targets in immunoassays. In order to explore the feasibility of chicken IgY-based ELISA for detection of mebendazole (MEB), the chicken IgY against MEB was generated in the laying hens. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on chicken IgY was developed for detection of MEB with a half-maximum signal inhibition concentration (IC) of 3.65 ng mL and a limit of detection of 0.25 ng mL. The assay showed a lower cross reactivity (less than 1%) with other structures analogues (except amino-MEB with the values of 70.7%). The average recoveries of MEB spiked in pork and mutton muscle samples ranged from 93.6% to 106.3% with relative standard deviation less than 8.78% and 10.85% for intra-assay and inter-assay, respectively, and agreed well with those of high-performance liquid chromatography. Our results indicate that generated IgY could be used as a robust reagent for routine screening analysis of small molecular compounds residues in food samples.

N-acetylneuraminic acid is an active ingredient in tonic foods and an important additive in foods and biopharmaceuticals. To address the limitations of existing methods of N-acetylneuraminic acid quantification, we developed an immunoassay based on antibodies induced in hens using artificial antigen, showing high sensitivity and specificity with no cross-reactivity with eight N-acetylneuraminic acid analogues. An IgY-based indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed a detection range of 1.

The rise of multi-drug-resistant bacteria poses a global threat. In 2017, the World Health Organization identified 12 antibiotic-resistant 'priority pathogens', including Enterobacteriaceae, highlighting the menace of Gram-negative bacteria. Diarrhoeagenic (DEC)-induced diarrhoea is particularly problematic for travellers and infants.

Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV) is a major pathogen associated with neonatal calf diarrhea. Standard practice dictates that to prevent BCoV diarrhea, dams should be immunized in the last stage of pregnancy to increase BCoV-specific antibody (Ab) titers in serum and colostrum. For the prevention to be effective, calves need to suck maternal colostrum within the first six to twelve hours of life before gut closure to ensure a good level of passive immunity.

The immunoglobulin Y (IgY) derived from hyperimmune egg yolk is a promising passive immune agent to combat microbial infections in humans and livestock. Numerous studies have been performed to develop specific egg yolk IgY for pathogen control, but with limited success. To date, the efficacy of commercial IgY products, which are all delivered through an oral route, has not been approved or endorsed by any regulatory authorities.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are among the antibiotics whose widespread use in farm-raised animals results in potentially harmful residues in the end products. Additionally, most Thai farmers use antibiotics. Amoxicillin and enrofloxacin were commonly used by pig farms, and hens were given enrofloxacin to prevent immunization side effects.
