In an industry where health challenges can determine the difference between profitability and loss, why not eliminate a challenge when you can? 

Host Sarah Muirhead sits down with Dr. Amy Maschhoff from The Maschhoffs LLC System to discuss practical strategies, lessons and benefits seen from eliminating M. Hyo, a common cause of coinfections.

They discuss: 

• Costs of mycoplasma to a system
• Lessons learned from eliminating the disease
• Benefits to the production system as a whole
• Backup plans if the original elimination plan doesn’t work
• Future opportunities

Dr. Amy Maschhoff is the director of health and animal care for The Maschhoffs, LLC. She earned her veterinary degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and began her career as herd veterinarian for The Maschhoffs. Now she serves in a more central role for the Maschhoff system.
