In experimental ascariosis (Ascaris suum) of pigs a preparation of glucan combined with pig immunoglobulin and zinc was found to significantly elevate the levels of both T and B lymphocytes in the blood, and to significantly stimulate the phagocytic ability of monocytes and neutrophilic granulocytes in experimental pigs. The protective effect of the preparation, assessed by the reduction in the number of migrating ascarid larvae in the lungs of pigs was 65%.
