Ofidism as a health problem in Perú requires to be attended either optimizing commercial antivenom potency and developing news technologist on this. Production of specific avian immunoglobulin Y is an alternative in relationship IgG horse antibodies, which is the main point of this research. Laying Light Brow Leghorn chickens were immunizated with 500 µg of Bothrops atrox snake venom emulsificated with Complete Freund’s adjuvant, and the IgY antibodies production was evaluated with the double immunodiffusion method. The avian antibodies were isolated from egg yolk which contained high level of specific IgY, calculated by ELISA method. Using caprylic acid negative precipitation and ammonium sulfate positive precipitation, mass antibodies recovery was 8,5 ± 1,35 mg/ml of yolk and after step on sepharosa 4B-venom affinity chromatographic, specific IgY recovery was 8,3% . The avian antivenom had a ED50: 575 µL antivenom/mg of venom and potency was 1,74 mg of venom/ml of avian antivenom. In addition, the crossing reactivity assays showed that Bothrops brazili venom share more common epitope with Bothrops atrox venom with a value of 46% of crossing reactivity whilest the Bothrops pictus and Bothrops barnetti venoms had values of 41% and 37% respectly; in contrast the venoms of Crotalus durissus (12%) and Lachesis muta (19%) had low crossing reactivity with Bothrops atrox venom.
