The pig acupuncture model is mainly used for the following purposes:

1. Veterinary acupuncture teaching

The pig acupuncture model plays an important role in the teaching of veterinary acupuncture. For veterinary students, mastering acupuncture techniques is an indispensable part of veterinary clinical practice. However, due to the many limitations of real animal gymnastics, such as ethical, cost and safety issues, the opportunities for practice are relatively limited. Therefore, the pig acupuncture model provides a safe and economical platform for students to practice. By simulating real pig anatomy and acupuncture point distribution, students can practice acupuncture operations on the model, thereby improving their acupuncture skills.

2. Veterinary clinical practice

In addition to teaching, the pig acupuncture model is also widely used in veterinary clinical practice. In real animal acupuncture treatment, the veterinarian needs to perform precise positioning and acupuncture operations on the animal's acupuncture points. However, due to the difference in animal size and the complexity of acupuncture points, this operation has a certain difficulty. The appearance of pig acupuncture model provides a convenient auxiliary tool for veterinarians. By using acupoint marks on the model and simulated skin, veterinarians can more accurately locate acupoints and perform acupuncture operations. This can not only improve the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment, but also reduce animal injuries caused by improper operation.

3. Animal acupuncture research

Pig acupuncture model also plays an important role in animal acupuncture research. As a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, acupuncture and moxibustion also has a certain application prospect in the field of animal medicine. However, due to the complexity of animal anatomy and physiological function, the effect and mechanism of acupuncture treatment in animals are still not completely clear. The pig acupuncture model provides researchers with a repeatable and controllable experimental platform. By performing acupuncture operations on the model, researchers can more deeply understand the impact and mechanism of acupuncture treatment on the animal body, so as to provide theoretical and scientific basis for the application of animal acupuncture therapy.

To sum up, the pig acupuncture model has important application value in veterinary acupuncture teaching, clinical practice and animal acupuncture research. It not only improves the level of acupuncture skills of veterinary students, but also provides a safer and more economical practice platform for veterinary clinical practice, and also provides an important experimental tool for the research of animal acupuncture therapy.
