ImmuCell is an entrepreneurial animal health company that develops, manufactures and markets scientifically-proven products that maximize the genetic potential of dairy and beef through disease prevention, and reduced dependence on antibiotics.

At ImmuCell we have a desire to make life easier and business more profitable for dairy and beef producers.  We hate fluff so are committed to meeting USDA, CFIA, FDA, and OMRI standards for efficacy.  We also hate inflating prices to cover bureaucratic overhead which is why we run lean, logical, committed to our customers and results.

ImmuCell holds a unique position, they are the only animal health company with the ability to concentrate, purify, and quantify specific colostrum antibodies (E. coli, coronavirus, and rotavirus) on a commercial scale. This has resulted in products to treat one of the two most frustrating problems within commercial beef and dairy operations – calf scours. 

What people are saying about First Defense®

“When first approached about using First Defense® I wasn’t quite sure about it but, it’s a simple easy way as far as prevention for scours. It’s something we can give day old, immediately and see the benefits right away.”

BRAD SCOTTScott Brothers Dairy | Moreno Valley, CA

“We have been using First Defense® for the last 3-4 years and are really happy with the product. For us it’s important, it’s a big investment and a huge return. The product is convenient and versatile.  Knowing we have protection as soon as the calf hits the ground is satisfying and comforting. This product gives assurance.”
