Abstract
Aqua oxidizing water (AOW) on pyoderma caused by Staphylococcus intermedius (S.intermedius) as well as Staphylococcus hyicus (S.hyicus) showed great therapeutic effects in piglets. Although the pathogenicity of S.intermedius was relatively small compared to Staphylococcus aureus and S, hyicus, it apparently brought about substantial growth hindrance and a complication due to the considerable physical stress by the pathogenicity. The pigs infected in pyoderma became weak due to menge mites at the beginning. Administering Ivermectin to the pigs appeared to be effective in treating the mites, however, allergy and pyoderma became worse. The weight of the heavily infected pig, dropped under 4kg, which was the pig's weight during the weaning period. We observed a tendency of recovery by spaying 300ml of the AOW for 3 days. After two weeks of treating the pigs with AOW, they totally recovered from pyoderma.
