Abstract
New nonspecific immunostimulators (Koko enterprise Co., Ltd., Korea) were evaluated for its effectiveness as a nonspecific immunostimulator in pigs. The effects of new nonspecific immunostimulators were determined by analysis of cytokines using ELISA and blood-chemistry. IFN-r which is one of the cell mediated immune cytokines significantly increased in DIR-vitamineral 0.2% group posttreatment 4 weeks and was significantly higher IMF 0.2%, DIR-vita 0.1% and DIR-vitamineral 0.2% groups than control group in 3 months. DIR-vitamineral 0.2% had a most strong effectiveness as a nonspecific immunostimulator in our treatment materials in pigs. IMF 0.2% and DIR-vita 0.1% were seen that there had effectiveness of a nonspecific immunostimulator in posttreatment 3 months. IgG IgM and Total Ig which were humoral immune globulins, were not significantly changed in posttreatment 4 weeks and 3 months. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated that new nonspecific immunostimulators had an immunostimulatory effect on pigs through cell mediated immune response.
