Abstract: CUENO, DIANA ERIKA ERNI. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2006. Evaluation of Growth Performance and Level of Immunity of Pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) Given M+ Pac® Mycoplasma Vaccine. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Adviser. Dr. Nelson J. Montialto. The study was conducted to evaluate and compare the efficacy of single and double shots of M+ Pat mycoplasma vaccine on pigs performance and immunity. Specifically, the study evaluated the efficacy of the vaccine based on lung scores, assessed the status of immunity based on the antibody titer obtained through Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and determined the effect of the vaccine on the average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of the pigs examined. One hundred thirty five week-old piglets were used in the study. These were equally divided into three treatment groups. Animals in Treatment 1 were given a single shot of 2 ml of vaccine on day 21, Treatment 2 were given 1 ml each on day 14 and day 35 (double shot) and Treatment 3 served as the control animals Results of the study revealed Treatment 1 had the lowest average lung lesion scores, had the highest antibody level post vaccination, had the highest average gain in weight and lowest feed conversion ratio compared to animals in Treatments 2 and 3. Results also showed improvements compared to the existing farm efficiencies. From these results the use of single shot of M+ Pac® was proven effective on the health of the animals improving the growth performance, increasing the final weight, reducing the lung lesion scores and reducing coughing. The author suggested for further study particularly the comparison with other vaccines against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. It is also recommended that similar study be conducted in another farm outside of the study area to validate the results of this study.
