Not buying it for a minute (literally or figuratively!).

I'm in the biotech industry and companies pay millions and millions to formulate antibody drugs in such a way that they are either stable in a liquid solution or lyophilized so that they can be reconstituted in water and remain viable/active.

We're supposed to believe that they can take some sort of antibody raised in chickens and somewhow throw it into a koi food formulation and that these antibodies are going to (a) remain intact and (b) miraculously become active when eaten by a koi?

Antibodies are sensitive protein molecules -would love to be proven wrong, but it sounds like snake oil to me!
