Thirty two pigs weighed 4-5kg and aged 21days old were used in this study. The animals with diarrhea were treated with traditional acupuncture or enrofloxacin. In the group treated with traditional acupuncture acupoint GV1 Jiaochao was used and in the group treated with antibiotics enrofloxacin was injected intramuscularly. Ten pigs were inoculated with E. coll but were not treated and served as nontreated control group. At postinoculation day 6 all pigs of the acupuncture and antibiotic treated groups recovered from diarrhea. In the ascending and descending colons of the nontreated control group severe infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria was observed and in the fundic stomach destruction of the fundic gland architecture and necrotic lesions were observed however in the same sites of the acupuncture and antibiotics treated groups the mucosae of the colon and stomach were relatively similar to those of the normal group. These results indicate that acupuncture treatment is effective in controlling induced E. coli diarrhea in pigs at its early stage.
