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

Robles, I., Park, R. M., Cramer, C. M., Wagner, B. K., Moraes, L. E., Viscardi, A. V., … Pairis-Garcia, M. D. (2021, October 25). Journal of Animal Science, Vol. 11.

author keywords: animal welfare; behavior; castration; swine; validation
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal; Male; Orchiectomy / veterinary; Pain / veterinary; Swine
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Animal Nutrition and Physiology; Human-Animal Interaction Studies
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)

Kramer, S. A., Wagner, B. K., Robles, I., Moeller, S. J., Bowman, A. S., Kieffer, J. D., … Pairis-Garcia, M. D. (2021, February 15). Journal of Animal Science, Vol. 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
topics (OpenAlex): Forensic Entomology and Diptera Studies; Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurovascular Disturbances; Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation
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.
