Gilt acclimatization, reduced shedding key to curbing downstream M. hyo disease

Research shows that if more piglets are positive for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) at weaning, there will be more problems in finishers, with decreased average daily gain, increased mortality and poor feed conversion.[1] There will be a lower percentage of pigs sent to the primary market as well as higher treatment costs.
