In a partnership with a US laboratory, Vetanco launched the new Circo\/MycoGard vaccine in the Argentine and Latin American markets to immunize pigs against Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Argentine laboratory Vetanco established a commercial partnership with the US Pharmgate Animal Health<\/a> company to distribute the Circo\/MycoGard vaccine in Argentina and Latin America. The vaccine protects pigs against both PCV-2 and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Circo\/MycoGard vaccine enhances pig immunity against these diseases of worldwide distribution and high productive impact, especially on weight gain and mortality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PCV-2 causes post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome and dermatitis-nephropathy syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the vaccine protects pigs against Enzootic pneumonia (EP), which is why it is considered a double-purpose<\/em> vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis vaccine was developed to protect the growth development of pigs. Farmers can rely on its strength, efficacy, and cutting-edge technology to fight the diseases from weaning to finishing,\u201d said Gustavo Orella, technical sales coordinator for Latin America of Vetanco\u2019s Pig Division.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vaccine was launched virtually with the slogan \u201cCirco\/MycoGard Operation<\/em>\u201d on April 20 and counted with the presence of industry experts. Manuel Carbonell<\/a> of Pharmgate Mexico spoke about the vaccine\u2019s effectiveness; and Jeffrey Hall<\/a>, Vetanco USA R&D Director, explained the vaccine production technology. Joaquim Segal\u00e9s<\/a>, researcher and professor at the Veterinary School of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain, detailed the impacts caused by the diseases this vaccine fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ra\u00fal Brega, Vetanco\u2019s Cattle, Pigs, and Pets sales manager, presented the Circo\/MycoGard vaccine. He highlighted that the partnership of the Argentine laboratory with Pharmgate Animal Health \u201cestablished a synergy between both laboratories, which have more than 25 years of experience and presence in the global market.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circo\/MycoGard Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vaccine protects from the moment of administration to slaughter, and promotes herd immunity. It is a one-dose vaccine, bottled in 50-, 100-, or 250-mL vials (1 mL\/dose).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVaccination with 1 mL of Circo\/MycoGard protected pigs from weaning to finishing, and promoted similar immunity performance compared with another commercial vaccine, and better pig performance than the controls,\u201d<\/em> pointed out Manuel Carbonell of Pharmgate Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jeffrey Hall, R&D Director at Vetanco USA, explained that \u201cconsidering the negative impact of some proteins included in vaccine composition, Pharmgate developed a purification step in the manufacturing of Circo\/MycoGard. The use of a more recent sequence of PCV-2 subtype b (PCV-2 genotype b) also differentiates Circo\/Mycogard from other products, protecting the pigs during the entire production cycle.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Joaquim Segales of the School of Veterinary Medicine of the Autonomous University of Barcelona pointed out that \u201cPCV-2 vaccines work very well provided they are correctly applied. Such vaccines have changed the epidemiology of this virus. Therefore, we need to monitor PCV-2 infections and adapt vaccination protocols by applying optimal vaccination strategies in order to balance passive immunity levels, management practices, and times of infection.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Segales also said that \u201cthe basic diagnostic principles have not changed, but we must ensure they are correctly used. There are multiple PCV-2 genotypes, and the most frequently found today are PCV-2 d>, PCV-2 b>, and PCV-2\u00aa.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final Q&A round was moderated by DVM Gustavo Orella, technical sales manager for Latin America of Vetanco\u2019s Pig Division, and DVM Alberto Armocida, Vetanco\u2019s Pig Division technical sales assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
