A polyvalent live Eschericia coli oral vaccine were prepared by the use of 5 field isolates of enteropathogenic E. Coli, serotypes 08: K87, K83a, b; 0138: K81, K88a, c; 0141: K85a, b, K88a, b: 0149: K91, K88a, c and 0157: K'V17' K88a, c. Some field experiments were conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the polyvalent live E. coli oral vaccine in the prevention of neandatal colibacillosis in piglets suckling orally vaccinated sows. Seventy-nine pregnant sows in and intensive pig farm were vaccinated with oral vaccine 4 weeks prior to farrowing and 19 sows were chosen for control. The piglets suckling vaccinated sows showed a significant protection against neonatal enteric colibacillosis during the 2 weeks observation period from the farrowing but no significant differences in protection between vaccinated and control group were observed with piglets older than 15 days
