Is there an eradication program for M. hyopneumoniae without depopulation?
One method is discussed by Baekbo, et al., in the previously mentioned paper. Another method is to use SEW technology described in many papers by me and others here in the United States. If you can use early weaning (<14 days) and batch rear pigs, large groups of pigs can be reared free of clinical signs of M. hyopneumoniae and, in good management situations, free of the disease. -Kirk Clark, DVM, PhD (Originally posted to SWINE-L) Editors' note: Information about the Swine-L email list is available on the web at http://www.aasp.org/swine-l.html If you don't have web access, send Internet email to info@aasp.org and put "swine-l" in the subject line.
