Clinical Efficacy of Two Novel, Differentially Administered (IM, ID) Vaccines against <i>Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae</i> and PCV2 in Swine under Field Conditions by Wolfgang Sipos, Sabine Sipos

“…In this field study, we tested the clinical efficacy of two novel vaccines, one delivered IM (Hyogen^® + Circovac^®) and the other ID (MHyo-Sphere^®PCV ID), on a fattening farm in Lower Austria with a history of still ongoing EP. Average daily weight gain, coughing/sneezing index, losses due to morbidity/mortality, and lung scoring data at slaughter by means of CLP (Ceva Lung Program) were recorded for three consecutive fattening cohorts to achieve a powerful number of animals, one half each vaccinated with the IM vaccine and the other half with the ID vaccine (n = 659 in total). …”
