본 실험은 생봉독 처리가 돼지의 체액성 면역반응에 대한 생봉독의 효과를 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 혈중 Immunoglobulin(Ig) G, IgA, IgM의 농도에 미치는 생봉독의 효과를 조사하기 위하여 모돈 3두에서 생산한 자돈 20두(LY ×D)를 생봉독 처리군과 대조군으로 각각 10두씩 배치하였다. 생봉독 처리군은 출생시와 3일령에 교소혈 (GV-1), 해문혈(ST-25) 및 두구혈(CV-8), 6일령에 거세, 단미 창상부위에 생봉 1마리씩 직침 시술하였고, 대조군은 생리식염수 1ml를 동일한 혈위에 주입하였다. 혈중 Ig 농도 측정을 위하여 출생시와 3일, 7일, 14일 및 21일령에 채혈하여 Immunoturbidimetric method로 IgG, IgM, IgA를 측정하였다. 지표항원으로 사용한 돈 콜레라와 위축성비염 백신에 대한 생봉독의 항체 생성효과를 조사하기 위하여 모돈 5두에서 생산된 자돈 40두(LY×D)를 생봉독 처리군과 대조군으로 각각 20두씩 공시하였다. 생봉독 처리군은 출생시에 교소혈(Jiao-Chao, GV-1), 해문혈(Hai-Men, ST-25) 및 두구혈(Du-Kou, CV-8)에, 3일령에 단미 및 거세시술 시 창상부위에 생봉독을 처리하였고, 21일령 이유시에는 교소혈(GV-1)과 백회혈(Bai- Hui, GV-20)에 생봉독을 처리하였다. 지표항원으로 위축성비염 백신은 24일령과 44일령에 접종하였고 돈콜레라 백신은 44일령과 64일령에 각각 접종하였다. 항체가 분석용 혈액은 24, 34, 44, 54 및 74일령에 채혈하여 위축성비염은 시험관응집반응, 돈콜레라는 ELISA법에 의하여 항체가를 조사하였다. IgG 농도는 처리군에서 출생시 339.52, 3일령에 366.48, 7일령에 296.52, 14일령에 242.06, 21일령에는 219.06mg/dl이었고 대조군은 각각 347.10, 333.14, 243.28, 205.18 및 191.58mg/dl 이었다. 처리전(출생시)에는 처리군과 대조군간에 유의차가 없었으나 처리군의 IgG 농도가 대조군에 비하여 3일령 10.3% (P<0.02), 7일령에는 21.9% (P<0.01), 14일령에는 18.0% (P<0.07), 21일령에는 14.3(P<0.07) 더 높게 나타났다. IgA와 IgM의 농도는 전체기간동안 처리군과 대조군간에 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 돈콜레라 virus에 대한 항체역가는 처리군에서 대조군에 비하여 24일령 때 57.0%(P<0.03), 34일령 때 74.6% (P<0.006), 44일령에 48.6% (P<0.017), 54일령 때 45.0% (P<0.16), 74일령 때 44.4%(P<0.006)가 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 위축성비염 원인균인 Bordetella bronchiceptica에 대한 항체역가는 처리군이 대조군에 비하여 34일령 때는 39.7%(P<0.002), 44일령 때 31.9% (P<0.02), 54일령 때에 33.4%(P<0.01), 74일령 때에는 57.3%(P<0.007)가 높게 나타나 접종일인 24일령을 제외하고 전체기간에 걸쳐 높은 항체수준을 보였다. 위의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 돼지에 대한 생봉독 처리는 면역기능향상 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다. 이와 같은 결과를 볼 때 돼지에 대한 생봉독의 처리는 양돈 생산성면에서 생봉독 처리는 돼지의 생존율을 높이고, 증체량이 높았다는 조 등(2005)의 보고를 뒷받침하고 있어 양돈 산업발전에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate effects of honeybee venom treatment on the body weight gain, feed conversion and growth rate' in pigs. One hundred twenty nine piglets(LY) from 12 sows were allocated into two groups; honeybee venom-treated group (66 piglets from 6 sows) and non-treated control group (63 piglets from 6 sows). Natural honeybee venom was administrated at 0, 3, 14, 30, and 74 days after birth. The acupoints were Hai-men(ST-25), Du-kou(CV-8) and liao-chao(GV-I) points at 0 day, the regions of castration and tail ampution at 3 days, liao-chao(GV-1) and Bai-hui(GV-20) points at 14(weaning), 30(move into piglet stall) and 74(move into grower stall) days after birth. Control group was injected 1 ml of saline to the same site. Average body weight at 150 days after birth was 98.44 kg in bee venom treated group and 86.24 kg in control group, respectively. Average body weight of treated group was significantly increased by 14.15%(P < 0.0001). Average daily gain of bee venom treated group and control group were 649 g and 569 g, respectively, increased by 14.06%(P< 0.0001). Feed conversion of the treated group was 2.21 and control group was 2.49, increased by 11.25% in control group(P < 0.001). Survival rate at weaning was 95.5 % in treated group and 92.0% in control group, at growing(74 days after birth) was 92.4% in treated group and 85.7% in control group and survival rate at finishing(l50 days after birth) was 89.5 % and 79.4 %, respectively. Collecting together, the results in this study showed that growth performance and feed conversion were increased by treatment of natural honeybee venom to pigs. These results suggested that the treatment of bee venom could be used effectively for the increase productivity of livestock industry.

This study was designed to examine therapeutic effect of bee(Apis mellifera L.) venom in calves with bacterial diarrhea. Calves with bacterial diarrhea were administered with bee venom and therapeutic drug, respectively. In the bee venom-treated group, 69 calves were acupunctured once a day for 3 conseutive days. Two local acupoints of Jiao-chao(GV-1, at the indentation between the base of tail and the anus) and Bai-hui(GV -20, in the dorsal midline of the lumbo-sacral space) were stung by the bee. In the therapeutic drug-treated group, 55 claves were intramuscularly injected with a standard dosage of antibiotic (ciprofloxacin, 2.5 mg/kg of body weight) and antidiarrheal drug (berberine cholride, 10mg/head) once a day for 3 consecutive days. At post-treatment, 81.2% of the bee venom-treated calves and 76.4% of the therapeutic drugtreated calves were recovered from bacterial diarrhea. Bee acupuncture therapy showed in calves without side effects such as allergy hemorrhage, or infection. It might be concluded that apitherapy was affective in controlling of calves with bacterial diarrhea.

This study was designed to examine the therapeutic effect of Italian honeybee (Apis mellifera) venom in piglets with bacterial diarrhea. Preweaning piglets were assigned to treated and nontreated control groups. In treated group, 47 piglets were given natural honeybee venom once a day for 3 consecutive days. The natural honeybees were stung acupoints of GV-1 (Jiao-Chao, at the indentation between the base of tail and the anus) and ST-25 (Hai-men, about 1 cm lateral to the umbilicus). In control group, 44 piglets were intramuscularly injected with a standard dosage of colistin sulfate (300,000 IU/kg of body weight) and antid-iarrheal drug (berberine, 2 ml/kg) once a day for 3 consecutive days. At post-treatment, 90.9% of control piglets and 93.6 % of piglets in treated group recovered from bacterial diarrhea. Bee acupuncture therapy did not show in piglets without any side effects such as allergy, intoxication, hemorrhage, or infection. It might be concluded that honeybee venom therapy was effective in controlling of piglets with bacterial diarrhea.

It is now generally accepted that acupuncture is effective in diarrhea caused by bacterial infection. However, its effect on the intestinal smooth muscle dysfunction is not clear. Therefore, we investigated the effect of acupuncture therapy at Jiao-chao (GV-1) on the intestinal muscle dysfunction in weaning piglets orally infected by Escherichia coli. The animals are divided into four groups; 1) E. coli + no-treatment, 2) E. coli + antibiotic, 3) E. coli + acupuncture, 4) normal group. In the three E. coli infected groups, low frequency electrical field stimulation (EFS, 1 Hz) provoked triphasic responses composed of initial relaxation followed by on-contraction and off-contraction. While in the normal group, EFS (1Hz) induced biphasic responses composed of relaxation during the stimulation and off-contraction. At the high frequency (16Hz) EFS, both on-contraction and off-contraction of the E. coli + antibiotic, E. coli + acupuncture and the normal group were larger than those of the E. coli + no-treatment group. In the non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) condition, only biphasic responses occurred to EFS in all experimental groups and the off-contraction of E. coli + antibiotic, E. coli + acupuncture and the normal group were larger than those of the E. coli + no-treatment group. The response to carbachol of those three groups was also significantly greater than that of the E. coli + no-treatment group. These results suggest that acupuncture is as effective as antibiotic in the dysfunction of colonic circular muscle caused by E. coli infection. The maintenance of contractile neuromuscular transmission seems to be involved in the mechanism of the acupuncture effects on diarrhea.

This study was designed to examine the clincotherapeutic effect of natural honeybee (Apis mellifera) venom in sows with mastitis, metritis and agalactia (MMA) syndrome. Sows with MMA syndrome after parturition were assigned to treated and nontreated control groups. In treated group, 22 sows were bee acupunctured once a day for 3 consecutive days. Acupuncture points of Jiao-chao (GV-1, at the indentation between the base of tail and the anus), Yang-ming (ST-18, outside at the base of teat) and Hai-men (ST-25, about 1 cm lateral to the umbilicus) were stung by the natural honeybees. In control group, 20 sows were intramuscularly injected with a standard dosage of penicillin G (400,000 IU/kg of body weight) once a day for 3 consecutive days. At post-treatment, 85.0% of control sows and 90.9% of sows in treated group recovered from MMA syndrome. Bee acupuncture therapy didn't show any side effects such as allergy, intoxication, hemorrhage, or infection. It might be concluded that apitherapy was effective in controlling of sows with MMA syndrome.
