Avian mycoplasmosis have been considered a severe problem in poultry diseases; Mycoplasma gallisepticum being one of the most important. This study was conducted in Joint-Stock Company Balticovo, Latvia, to determine the prevalence of M. gallisepticum infection in hen’s flocks in the farm. A total of 904 serum and 335 swab samples from non-vaccinated birds against M. gallisepticum from 65 chicken flocks of different age, from day 1 to 75 weeks old, were all tested. The commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were used. Results revealed that the seropositive flock rate, based on ELISA tests and, according to ratio that represents the extent to which a light source effectively stimulates the rods: S/P ratios and antibodies titer higher 1.076 were 22/904 (2.43%) and 4/904 (0.44%), respectively, while PCR-positive flock rates were not confirmed. Seroprevalence of M. gallisepticum in commercial layer flock in Latvia was more common seen in birds from 17 to 30 weeks of age.
