Animals such as snakes, scorpions and Spiders.
The individual animals are 'milked' for their venom. The process doesn't cause any harm to the specimen, and the venom is replaced by the animals body. Small doses of the collected venom is injected into large animals such as horses. The horse's body builds up an immunity from the venom, and a sample of the animals blood (including the anti-bodies) is collected. This is then processed, and turned into multiple doses of antivenin.
