Dr. John Kolb is a professional services veterinarian for Boehringer Ingelheim. He was on the program to talk about Ingelvac MycoFLEX.

John says it’s a unique product designed to be a single dose member of the FLEX family. Because it’s part of the FLEX platform, he says it’s easy to combine with another product like CircoFLEX. This is due to the special adjuvant used by the platform.

He says that this product provides producers with a good single dose option to treat mycoplasma hyopneumoniae while allowing other treatment options to be included if needed.

Ingelvac MycoFLEX offers the flexibility to be administered to pigs as early as 3 weeks of age (weaning), providing protective immunity throughout the grow-finish period. Depending on your vaccination schedule, Ingelvac MycoFLEX also may be administered later in the nursery. Appropriate timing of vaccination is dictated by the exposure patterns of mycoplasma in your herd. Vaccination with Ingelvac MycoFLEX should be placed at least 2 weeks prior to onset of exposure to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae or at least 5 weeks prior to the onset of seroconversion. It is recommended that you work with your veterinarian to determine the optimum timing of vaccination for your herd.
