Vaccine or genetics ?

Hi Guys ,
I had serious problems in weaner and fattening stages untill i started to use the merial circo vac sow vacine which was 95 % effective in weaners but i would say only 75 % effective in the fattening stage , so i went onto the circaflex which i have found to be excellent BUT 20 % of my young gilts from 20 to 75 kgs are really getting a diesease challenge ( hairy , lack growth and coughing )even though they are vaccinated they dont die but defo lose the bloom of there tempo class mates and some go so bad i cannot keep them , i have been using hermitage for breeding replacements but now have changed all to top pigs ... Anyone else experience this ??

Ps have really found a % of hampshire in the terminal sire is also making positive impact as in my opinion pure hampshire has not enough confirmation and pure pietrin should be illegal... so many problems to mention . Tempo , duroc and hamshire cross doing excellent job here

Is a different person gilt vaccinating? Are you doing it at a different time???? Are your fans working well in the gilt fattening house???????? Are your room temperature being kept constant???????????? More infomation needed?????????? Are you purchasing your gilts from the same health status, pre-exposed and pre-vaccinated???????????
Which is why you give a booster jab, so that it doesn't wane. And of course nothing is 100%, but it still makes a major difference if animals/humans are vaccined, as apposed to not vaccinated, so whats you point!!!!!!!!!
