One Revolutionary 3-in-1 Vaccine
CIRCUMVENT CML is the newest addition to the CIRCUMVENT vaccine family, providing protection against porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Lawsonia intracellularis.
Just one injection covers three major profit-robbing diseases.
Choosing a PCV2 vaccine that also protects against M. hyopneumoniae and L. intracellularis can help protect the bottom line further by:
Cutting down on labor and waste
Increasing feed savings1
Providing a long DOI2
Reducing late finishing mortality due to PCVAD1
The C in CML: Porcine circovirus type 2
A PCV2 vaccine matters in protecting pigs and profitability. It’s the first step in the development of porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD).
PCVAD can:
- Increase mortality, culls and treatments1
- Negatively impact average daily gain and feed conversion1
- Increase the severity of coinfection from PRRS, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and influensa A virus3-5

CIRCUMVENT CML is a proven porcine circovirus vaccine that significantly reduces PCVAD after a PCV2 challenge.
- The amount of virus in the blood was 99% lower in pigs vaccinated with CIRCUMVENT CML2
- Pigs vaccinated with CIRCUMVENT CML also had significantly higher antibody levels than unvaccinated pigs2
The M in CML: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is a common cause of pneumonia in pigs. It often leads to chronic lung infections – causing reduced average daily gain and decreased feed efficiency.7 CIRCUMVENT CML, from the CIRCUMVENT vaccine family, is a safe and effective prevention.
Vaccinating with CIRCUMVENT CML is proven to significantly reduce lung lesions after an M. hyopneumoniae challenge2
Lung lesions in the group vaccinated with CIRCUMVENT CML were nearly half that of unvaccinated pigs after challenge at 10 weeks of age.2
The L in CML: Lawsonia intracellularis
Lawsonia intracellularis causes ileitis, an enteric disease that much like circovirus and M. hyopneumoniae, decreases average daily gain and feed efficiency. As a result, much more feed is required for pigs to reach market weight. Ileitis isn’t always easy to spot either – 94% of herds with no visible signs are found to have subclinical ileitis.8,9
Protecting gut health is critical, especially in young pigs. Proven effective against L. intracellularis, CIRCUMVENT CML is up for the task.
Pigs vaccinated with CIRCUMVENT CML:
- Had mean intestinal lesion scores (length and severity) that were nearly half that of unvaccinated pigs2
- At necropsy, had intestinal bacteria levels that were 90% lower on average than unvaccinated pigs2
