Equiplas® Plus (Equine IgG) is USDA-licensed
equine plasma with a high IgG level. Plasma contains a minimum IgG level of
2800 mg/dl and one bag will increase a normal foal’s IgG by about 400 mg/dl.
This product is available in 950-ml bags. Foals that are ill will not show the
IgG increases indicated above because of rapid utilization of the transfused
antibodies. The half-life of administered immunoglobulins is about 21 days in
the normal foal and as low as 8 days in the sick foal. The amount of IgG required
to confer protection on the young foal is very dependent on the environment and
has been reviewed extensively. We recommend a minimum of 400 mg/dl in
some situations and over 800 mg/dl in others. This depends on the likely
pathogenic burden in the immediate surroundings. Product is frozen and must ship
