Effect of vaccination against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in pig herds with an all-in/all-out production system

A multi-site field study was conducted to evaluate an inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mh) vaccine in 14 pig herds infected by Mh and practising an all-in/all-out production system. In each herd, a vaccinated and control group of 250 pigs each were compared during the growing/finishing period w...

Summary:A multi-site field study was conducted to evaluate an inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mh) vaccine in 14 pig herds infected by Mh and practising an all-in/all-out production system. In each herd, a vaccinated and control group of 250 pigs each were compared during the growing/finishing period with respect to performance parameters (major variables) and by means of clinical, serological and pathological parameters (ancillary variables).
