M. hyopneumoniae seroprevalence on ten Belgian farrow-to-finish farms. On ten Belgian farrow-to-finish farms blood was taken from 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). On all farms, except farm 9, gilts were vaccinated against M. hyopneumoniae. Serum was analyzed with a commercial ELISA for the presence of M. hyopneumoniae-specific antibodies. The percentage of M. hyopneumoniae seropositive animals is shown A for gilts and sows on each farm, B for the different parity groups, and C at the different TPs
