Do you have any experience with PCV2 blanket vaccination in sows?

Recently, there has been new information available about the impact of PCV2 sow vaccination in different parameters. We would like to know first hand your experience and thoughts

The article Exploring the benefits of PCV-2 blanket vaccination in sows speaks about the impact of sow blanket vaccination with a PCV2 vaccine in different parameters that can be grouped as performance parameters (birth weight of the piglets, % StillBorn, % mummified piglets) and its impact on PCV2 prevalence in newborn piglets measured as % of positive umbilical cords to PCV2.

worth to be mentioned it´s that another very recent study (The prevalence of PCV2 viremia in newborn piglets on four endemically infected Dutch sow farms is very low ) the PCV2 prevalence in newborn piglets was in fact very low.

Of course, we all know that every farm is different but we would like you to share your experience.
