M. hyopneumoniae PCR prevalence on ten Belgian farrow-to-finish farms. On ten Belgian farrow-to-finish farms tracheobronchial swabs (TBS) were taken of 80 breeding animals (n = 800) at four different time points (TPs) in the reproductive cycle (20 animals at each TP); 30–40 days (TP1) and 75–85 days (TP2) of gestation, 3–5 days after farrowing (TP3) and 1–3 days after weaning (TP4). TBS were analyzed with nested PCR for the presence of M. hyopneumoniae DNA. The percentage of M. hyopneumoniae positive TBS is shown A for gilts and sows on each farm, B for the different parity groups, and C at the different TPs
