If the anti-matter theoretically created during the "big bang" exists, would the neutrino "field" created by stars in the universe be capable of preventing matter and anti-matter from merging?

No there is only specific particle interactions in which neutrinos are involved in. These involve various particle conservation laws. Matter antimatter pairs readily comply with those laws. 

 Neutrinos can still provide clues to baryogenesis though as we still haven't located right hand neutrinos. So the neutrino family could provide some clues.

Thanks Mordred.  So the fact that neutrinos cannot interact with other particles would not give them the property of generally separating matter and anti-matter, like a buffer?

Neutrinos mediate the weak interactions. So they do interact with other particles however they would not act as a buffer.
