Controlled exposure to M. hyo is valuable tool for eliminating the pathogen

Controlled exposure to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo) has drawn more interest in the swine industry due to a better understanding of the shedding dynamics from unstable animals within the farrowing house and its impact on the downstream herd.1,2 Controlled exposure is also useful for establishing day 03,4 in M. hyo-elimination programs.
