Validation of the Unesp-Botucatu pig composite acute pain scale (UPAPS) in piglets undergoing castration

PLOS ONE, 18(4).

By: I. Robles n , S. Luna *, P. Trindade *, M. Lopez-Soriano n , V. Merenda  n, A. Viscardi *, E. Tamminga*, M. Lou *, M. Pairis- Garcia  n

Contributors: I. Robles n , S. Luna *, P. Trindade *, M. Lopez-Soriano n , V. Merenda  n, A. Viscardi *, E. Tamminga*, M. Lou *, M. Pairis-Garcia n 

Ed(s): I. Olsson

MeSH headings : Animals; Male; Female; Swine; Acute Pain / diagnosis; Reproducibility of Results; Orchiectomy / veterinary; Pain, Postoperative / diagnosis; Pain, Postoperative / drug therapy; Analgesia
TL;DR: The UPAPS scale is a valid and reliable clinical tool to assess acute pain in castrated pre-weaned piglets and confirms responsiveness and construct validity, respectively. (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)

Timely Euthanasia on Farm; Dairy Cattle and Swine

Pairis-Garcia, M., & Robles, I. (2021, May). JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, Vol. 99, pp. 10–10.

By: M. Pairis-Garcia n  & I. Robles n 

TL;DR: This work highlights the complicated challenges that arise when euthanizing livestock and the importance of not only identifying appropriate techniques to humanely euthanize livestock but address the emotional and animal welfare factors that influence these decisions. (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.
