ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an immunostimulant composition and method of use that is effective for increasing reproductive performance in an animal or human. More particularly, the present invention is the use of a mycobacterial cell wall preparation for stimulating the immune system of an animal or human in such a way as to cause an increase in reproductive performance of the animal or human.
