The role of the FcRn is fundamental in IgG metabolism. It is involved in transporting maternal immunity and protects IgG from fast degradation throughout life. While the acquisition of the humoral immunity through the transfer of IgG from mother to offspring shows species-specific differences, the mechanism how FcRn protects IgG from degradation is highly similar in all species analyzed so far. This review summarizes the current understanding of the FcRn-mediated IgG metabolism in livestock animals (cattle, sheep and pig) and point out those aspects that remain to be exposed for better understanding the function of this system in these species and also to take advantages of it for economical purposes.
