Gilt acclimatization is key to eliminating Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in sow herd
Successful elimination of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) from a herd is often driven by sow farm status, according to Alyssa Betlach, DVM, Swine Vet Center.
Gilt acclimatization, reduced shedding keys to curbing downstream M. hyo disease
Research shows that if more piglets are positive for M. hyo at weaning, there will be more problems in finishers, with decreased average daily gain, increased mortality and poor feed conversion.
