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.

Why does it take so long to make antivenom to cure snakebite?
Because it has to circulate your blood stream fully to wipe it out. In order to work, the antivenom must contact the venom. Antivenom is usually administered via IV infusion and diffuses into the tissues slowly, whereas venom will diffuse into the tissues rapidly. It may take many hours for the antivenom to diffuse into the tissues and neutralize the venom there, depending on the nature of the antivenom product used. It should be able to neutralize the venom that may be circulating in the vascular compartment and prevent systemic manifestations of envenomation.
