Impact of general injection anaesthesia and analgesia on post-castration behaviour and teat order of piglets.
Injection anaesthesia with a combination of ketamine and azaperone (K/A) is discussed as a painless alternative to commonly used non-anaesthetized castration. To protect anaesthetized piglets from being crushed, they have to be separated from the sow for 3 h following castration. The aim of this study was to test if this separation and the different treatments would affect short-term behaviour ...
متن کاملCastration of piglets under CO2-gas anaesthesia.
It has become common practice in pig fattening production systems to castrate young boar piglets without the use of anaesthesia. In this study, we examined whether or not CO2 gas is capable of inducing an acceptable anaesthetic state during which castration can be performed. The first step was to identify the most promising CO2/O2 mixture. Based on the results from this first experiment, a mixt...

متن کاملTopical anaesthesia reduces sensitivity of castration wounds in neonatal piglets
The aim of this study was to do determine the efficacy of the topical anaesthetic Tri-Solfen® in the amelioration of the pain of castration in piglets. The trial was conducted over a three day period, and blocked across six litters with 12 piglets treated on days one and two, and 16 on day three.

متن کاملPain and analgesia in the newborn.
The traditional view that neonates do not feel pain is now being questioned. Early studies showed what was thought to be a decorticate response in babies with no localisation to painful stimuli and this, together with the belief that the painful experience was not remembered, implied that pain was unimportant. ' As a consequence and because of certain anxieties about the handling of drugs (part...
