B.C. Ostrich Farm

Ostrich Pharma, also known as B.C. Ostrich Farm, is a Japanese biotechnology company specializing in the development and mass production of ostrich-derived antibodies (IgY). Founded by Dr. Yasuhiro Tsukamoto, the company utilizes the ostrich's robust immune system and large egg size to produce high volumes of antibodies more efficiently and cost-effectively than traditional mammalian systems. Their technology platform is capable of rapidly generating antibodies against a wide range of pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and Ebola. The company's commercial products include antibody-infused face masks for viral protection and specialized skincare lines for conditions like acne and atopic dermatitis. Ostrich Pharma continues to explore therapeutic applications for its IgY technology in infectious diseases and oncology.
