Earlier pig pneumonia diagnosis now possible


 

A combination of advanced diagnostics, data-based choices for treatment and information integration with existing management systems are improving early detection and treatment of Mycoplasma hypopneumonia in pigs is helping to detect and treat the infection earlier.


Dr. John Smith, a leading swine veterinarian, said with this innovation, producers can identify and address Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae challenges earlier and more effectively. This not only benefits animal welfare but also reduces economic losses associated with this disease.”


The Swine Health Information Center in the United States said “tools like this represent a significant step forward in achieving healthier herds and more resilient operations.”
