Claim:
A method for inducing the sustained release of antibodies in milk comprising the step of: a) administering a primer composition adjacent to, within close proximity of or within at least one supramammary lymph node; b) implanting at least one antigen releasing device adjacent to, within close proximity of or within at least one supramammary lymph node; and c) administering at least one or more booster compositions comprising antigen to a mammal adjacent to, within close proximity of or within at least one supramammary lymph node after the antigen releasing device has been implanted; wherein the primer composition, the antigen releasing device and the one or more booster compositions each comprise the same antigen and wherein the antigen releasing device releases the antigen into the tissue area around the supramammary lymph node which stimulates antibody secretion into a mammary gland.
