title: [Effect of reduced gastrointestinal motility on the regulation of gastrointestinal flora and the pathogenesis of coli enterotoxinemia in market swine].
abstract: Opium tincture and Spasmentral were applied to piglets early after weaning and reduced their gastro-intestinal motility, which, however, caused only very minor changes in quantitative germ flora composition in those first days. Short-time suppression of gastro-intestinal motility obviously does not result in detrimental consequences to the organism as a whole, since there seem to be several factors which are involved in the control and regulation of the intestinal germ flora. Impairment of gastro-intestinal motility appeared to be of no importance to the pathogenesis of coli-enterotoxaemia, as it was not followed by higher incidence of the disease.
