Technical Note: Validation of the effectiveness of electric stunning for euthanasia of mature swine (Sus scrofa domesticus)

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 100(4).

By: S. Kramer*, B. Wagner n, S. Moeller *, A. Bowman *, J. Kieffer*, A. Arruda *, M. Cressman*, M. Pairis-Garcia n 

author keywords: electrical stunning; euthanasia; mature swine
MeSH headings : Animals; Brain Stem; Euthanasia, Animal / methods; Farms; Female; Intracranial Hemorrhages / veterinary; Male; Sus scrofa; Swine; Swine Diseases
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a mobile E-STUN system is as effective as a heavy duty PCBG in inducing insensibility and death and shows promise as an alternative method for euthanizing mature pigs on-farm. (via Semantic Scholar)

Brief communication: Plasma cortisol concentration is affected by lactation, but not intra-nasal oxytocin treatment, in beef cows

PLOS ONE, 16(7).

By: B. Wagner n, A. Relling *, J. Kieffer* & A. Parker *

MeSH headings : Administration, Intranasal; Animals; Cattle; Female; Hydrocortisone / blood; Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System / physiology; Lactation; Oxytocin / blood; Oxytocin / pharmacology
TL;DR: It is indicated that oxytocin alone cannot be responsible for reduced plasma cortisol in lactating ruminants and alternative mechanisms that may be involved in the stress hypo-responsive condition of lactating mammals are needed. (via Semantic Scholar)

Oxytocin alters leukogram composition in Bos indicus cattle exposed to short-duration transportation

ANIMAL PRODUCTION SCIENCE, 61(13), 1315–1320.

By: B. Wagner n, D. Martin*, D. Rudd * & A. Parker *

author keywords: acute inflammatory response; Bos indicus; cattle; transport; transportation; HPA axis; hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; cortisol; neutrophilia; anxiolytic; lymphopenia; oxytocin; immune protection; stress response
TL;DR: Providing exogenous oxytocin improved the maintenance and recovery of some cellular immune system parameters in Bos indicus steers subject to short duration transport and more research is needed to explicate a more comprehensive understanding of such effects. (via Semantic Scholar)

Producer and Veterinarian Perspectives towards Pain Management Practices in the US Cattle Industry

ANIMALS, 11(1).

By: I. Robles n , A. Arruda *, E. Nixon n , E. Johnstone *, B. Wagner n, L. Edwards-Callaway *, R. Baynes n , J. Coetzee *, M. Pairis-Garcia n 

author keywords: cattle; animal welfare; pain mitigation; analgesics; attitudes; survey; FARAD
TL;DR: This study explored producer and veterinarian perspectives on pain management practices by exploring inquires received by Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank (FARAD) regarding analgesic use in cattle and using a survey instrument to identify factors that impact pain management implementation in the US cattle industry.

Technical contribution: use of continuous recording video monitoring of maintenance and pain behaviors in piglets after surgical castration to validate six continuous time sampling periods for behavior scoring

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 99(11).

By: I. Robles* , R. Park n, C. Cramer*, B. Wagner n, L. Moraes *, A. Viscardi *, J. Coetzee *, M. Pairis-Garcia n 

author keywords: animal welfare; behavior; castration; swine; validation
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal; Male; Orchiectomy / veterinary; Pain / veterinary; Swine
TL;DR: Results from this study suggest that a 45 min continuous time sampling period would be necessary to accurately investigate piglet behavior during the acute pain sensitivity time post-castration when considering both maintenance and pain associated behaviors. (via Semantic Scholar)

Validating the effectiveness of alternative euthanasia techniques using penetrating captive bolt guns in mature swine (Sus scrofa domesticus)

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 99(3).

By: S. Kramer*, B. Wagner n, I. Robles n , S. Moeller *, A. Bowman *, J. Kieffer*, A. Arruda *, M. Cressman*, M. Pairis-Garcia n 

author keywords: euthanasia; mature swine; penetrating captive bolt
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Weight; Brain Stem; Euthanasia, Animal; Female; Firearms; Male; Sus scrofa; Swine
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the cylinder style captive bolt gun more effectively resulted in brain trauma and death compared to a pistol style gun and the behind-the-ear and temporal placement showed promise as an alternative placement site for euthanizing mature pigs on-farm.

ANIMAL WELFARE, 29(3), 285–292.

By: R. Park, M. Cramer, B. Wagner*, P. Turner, L. Moraes, A. Viscardi, J. Coetzee, M. Pairis-Garcia* 

author keywords: animal welfare; behaviour; castration; pain; swine; validation
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that continuous sampling is the most appropriate methodology to fully capture behaviour specific to pain associated with castration, as determined by continuous observation. (via Semantic Scholar)

SHORT COMMUNICATION: Investigating woody breast disease and broiler chicken activity using an automated tracking software program

APPLIED ANIMAL SCIENCE, 36(3), 447–453.

By: L. Ross*, B. Wagner n, M. Cressman*, M. Cramer * & M. Pairis-Garcia n 

author keywords: behavior; welfare; myopathy; EthoVision XT
TL;DR: No effect of WBD on activity was detected using an automated tracking software program for behavior quantification, and limitations of the software and the potential presence of microscopic lesions in birds with a severity score of 0 may be contributing to this outcome.
