The pig body acupuncture model is a teaching aid specifically designed for the teaching and research of veterinary acupuncture. It is made based on the anatomical structure of the pig body and the meridian theory of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine. Models usually replicate the body shape features of pigs in proportion and mark the main meridian routes and commonly used acupoints on the body surface, such as the back-shu point and the key points of the limbs, to help learners quickly master the distribution pattern of acupoints.

Its principle is similar to that of the human acupuncture model. Through intuitive demonstration, the abstract meridian theory is concretized, which is convenient for students to understand the application of acupuncture in animal medicine. When in use, learners can conduct simulation training on acupoint location, needle insertion Angle and depth on the model, thereby accumulating operational experience and reducing the risk of practicing directly on live animals.

In veterinary clinical teaching, the pig body acupuncture model is helpful in explaining the auxiliary therapeutic effects of acupuncture on common diseases in pigs such as indigestion, respiratory diseases, and movement disorders. Meanwhile, this model features durability, easy cleaning and reusability. It not only meets the needs of classroom teaching and skills assessment, but also plays a significant role in the promotion of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine and scientific research exchanges.
