Review: Early Detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in Pigs Using Tracheo-bronchial Swab Sampling under Field Conditions | Chapter 7 | Research Aspects in Agriculture and Veterinary Science Vol. 4

 TBS sampling (tracheobronchial swab) is a fast, accurate, and animal-friendly method of diagnosing Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in the respiratory system (M. hyopneumoniae). This study covers a wide range of M. hyopneumoniae diagnostic procedures, including clinical symptoms, necropsy, microscopy, and pathogen detection using immunohistochemistry, culture, and PCR. Following that, TBS for the early detection of M. hyopneumoniae in pigs with clinical symptoms of respiratory distress from 2 weeks of age onwards is presented, along with its development, validation, and obtained findings. The TBS approach can detect an epidemic of clinical disease caused by M. hyopneumoniae at an early stage, in addition to early detection related to age category. Future prospects for TBS use in diagnostic ideas, epidemiology, and gilt adaptation processes are also highlighted.
