swine mycoplasma hyopneumoniae live vaccine

Swine Mycoplasma live vaccine refers to a category of live attenuated vaccines designed to protect pigs against Enzootic Pneumonia, a chronic respiratory disease caused by *Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae*. These vaccines, most notably those utilizing the attenuated Strain 168 or RM48, are administered to piglets to induce both local mucosal immunity in the respiratory tract and systemic immune responses. Unlike traditional inactivated bacterins, live vaccines aim to colonize the upper respiratory tract, providing a more comprehensive immune barrier that reduces lung lesions and improves average daily gain in infected herds. While inactivated vaccines dominate the global market, live attenuated formulations are extensively utilized in the Chinese swine industry, often administered via intramuscular or intranasal routes.
