This invention provides a Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M.hyo) antigen that is compatible with antigens from other swine pathogens, wherein the M.hyo antigen is a cell free M.hyo culture supernatant which is substantially free of swine IgG.

A pancreatin preparation having reduced viral infectivity includes one or more pancreatin enzymes and peracetic acid (PAA). At least one pancreatin enzyme may be derived from an animal source such as a porcine pancreas gland. In a particular embodiment, the one or more pancreatin enzymes are selected from the group consisting of lipases, proteases, and amylases.

This invention provides a protein-A or protein-G treated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M.hyo) antigen that is compatible with antigens from other swine pathogens, wherein the M.hyo antigen is an M.hyo culture supernatant.

A method for the reduction or inactivation of viral and microbial content in the manufacturing of pancreatin API is disclosed. The method includes treating animal-derived tissue with peracetic acid to reduce viral activity and bacterial load prior to processing. In particular, the method includes treating porcine pancreas glands with peracteic acid prior to extracting a pancreatin API from the treated glandular tissue.

This invention provides an immunogenic composition including the supernatant of a Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M.hyo) culture, wherein the supernatant of the M.hyo culture has been separated from insoluble cellular material by centrifugation, filtration, or precipitation and is substantially free of both (i) IgG and (ii) immunocomplexes comprised of antigen bound to immunoglobulin.

This invention provides an immunogenic composition including a soluble portion of a Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M.hyo) whole cell preparation, wherein the soluble portion of the M.hyo preparation is substantially free of both (i) IgG and (ii) immunocomplexes comprised of antigen bound to immunoglobulin.
