Ingelvac MycoFLEX®

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Vaccine

 

Details

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhp) is a leading cause of respiratory disease throughout the swine industry. Controlling Mhp infection within the entire production chain provides optimum results.  

 

The role of Mhp vaccines is to stimulate an active immune response and help reduce Mhp associated lung lesions and clinical disease.  

  

Ingelvac MycoFLEX® has been proven to reduce lung lesions and pneumonia associated with Mhp infection. A recent study showed piglets had a reduction in colonization compared to non-vaccinates.1

Vaccinating pigs at 3 weeks of age, including replacement gilts and sows, will help break the Mhp INFECTION CHAIN within a production system and decrease vertical and horizontal transmission of the disease to susceptible pigs. Understanding the INFECTION CHAIN and utilizing the Prevention Chain can help you get the most from your INGELVAC MYCOFLEX vaccination program.
