Acupuncture, a part of traditional Chinese medicine, started long ago and has been applied widely. Veterinary acupuncture was established when acupuncture was applied to domestic and pet animals, and has been improved after a long period of clinical practice and theoretical research. Profound and effective in treatment, veterinary acupuncture is admired both at home and abroad.
        At Nanjing Agricultural University, there is a research division of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine. With well-known experts, like Prof. Song Dalu, Prof. Hu Yuanliang and Prof. Zhou Haoliang and Dr. Liu Jiaguo, the division has been actively involved in the teaching, research and practice of veterinary medicine, and therefore accumulated rich experience.
      Since 1986, Nanjing Agricultural University has regularly (July to August) hosted international courses on veterinary acupuncture in response to the request from abroad. Fourteen courses have been conducted, and hundreds of participants have been trained. The participants were graduate and undergraduate students, clinical vets and visiting scholars from the UK, the US, Japan, Germany, Switzerland and some other foreign countries. The course focuses on diseases of dogs, cats, horses and cattle, and combines theoretical study with clinical practice and study tours. The course provides participants with opportunities to further understand traditional Chinese medicine. After the course, a tour to Southeast China is organized.
