The methods for producing antibodies are well understood. There were several different monoclonal antibodies produced for use in treating Covid infections.
I imagine the harder part is finding the most effective ones to manufacture, as it is still quite costly. Harvesting serum from a live animal has the benefit of harvesting whatever antibodies have been produced, rather than a single specific one, so an effective antivenom might need to be composed of a number of monoclonal antibodies.
