Mycoplasma, a group of bacteria, is integral to swine health management due to its potential to cause respiratory diseases, particularly Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae.

In this episode, Dr. Donna Drebes, a production veterinarian at Seaboard Foods, discusses optimal strategies for mycoplasma hyopneumoniae gilt acclimation, emphasizing the importance of intratracheal inoculation and in-house autogenous products, providing valuable insights for producers.Meet the guest: Dr. Donna DrebesExperience:Current: Production Veterinarian in Seaboard FoodsPast: Principal Investigator at the University of MinnesotaBackground:DVM, Veterinary Medicine (University of Minnesota)B.Sc., Pre-Veterinary Studies (Southern Illinois University)Connect with the guest!The Swine Health Blackbelt Podcast is trusted and supported by innovative companies like:* Boehringer Ingelheim* Elanco- Adare- Essential Ag Solutions- Healthy Climate Solutions- United Animal Health𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺.Instagram: Swine CampusLinkedIn: Swine CampusWebsite: swinehealthblackbelt.com
