Abstract

Objective: To determine the effect of a new feed-grade antibiotic (tilmicosin) on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae-challenged pigs and to determine whether the M. hyopneumoniae status of pigs weaned at 21 days, when tilmicosin is used, would be similar to the M. hyopneumoniae status of piglets weaned at 12 days. Additionally, the effect of tilmicosin on other respiratory pathogens in all treated pigs was assessed.
