    Implementing a Mycoplasma meleagridis (MM) control program can significantly boost profits for turkey breeders. Discontinuing egg dipping, alongside MM monitoring and incentives, offers the greatest economic advantage.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Economics
    • Poultry Health Management
    • Disease Control Strategies

    Background:

    • Mycoplasma meleagridis (MM) poses economic challenges in commercial turkey production.
    • Current disease control programs, including egg-dipping, require economic evaluation.
    • Optimizing MM management is crucial for breeder profitability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply economic decision analysis to various Mycoplasma meleagridis (MM) control programs.
    • To assess the economic impact of MM control strategies on a hypothetical commercial turkey breeder.
    • To reevaluate the cost-effectiveness of current egg-dipping practices in MM management.

    Main Methods:

    • Economic decision analysis was employed.
    • A hypothetical commercial turkey multiplier breeder model was utilized.

  • Various MM control program scenarios were compared, including egg-dipping practices.

    • Main Results:

    • A specific MM control program, incorporating monitoring and incentive payments, showed significant economic benefits.
    • Continuing egg-dipping within an MM control program is projected to yield $1.58 per hen.
    • Discontinuing egg-dipping, coupled with an MM control program, is projected to yield a higher gain of $2.06 per hen.

    Conclusions:

    • Economic decision analysis highlights the financial importance of strategic Mycoplasma meleagridis control.
    • Discontinuing egg-dipping presents a more economically favorable option for turkey breeders managing MM.
    • Integrated MM control programs, potentially excluding egg dipping, can enhance profitability in turkey multiplier operations.
