Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Two trials were conducted with three treatments: 1) Control (mycoplasma clean), 2) TS-11 Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) vaccinated at 10 wks of age, and 3) TS-11 MG vaccinated at 10 weeks of age followed by F strain MG inoculation at 22 wk of age. Egg production, egg weight, egg shell breaking strength, Haugh unit score, pimpling incidence, and blood/meat spot incidence data were collected over the initial 15 wk of production (23-37 wk of age). No significant differences (P<0.05) were observed between the treatments for overall 15 wk means for any of the measured parameters.
