Effects of assessment method (real-time versus video-recorded) on a validated pain-altered behavior scale used in castrated piglets

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 13(1).

By: P. Esteves Trindade n , M. Lopez-Soriano n , V. Merenda  n, R. Tomacheuski n & M. Pairis-Garcia n 

Contributors: P. Trindade  n, M. Lopez-Soriano n , V. Merenda  n, R. Tomacheuski n & M. Pairis-Garcia n 

TL;DR: In conclusion, piglet pain assessment by UPAPS can be conducted in real-time based on a suitable agreement between the real- time and video-recorded assessment methods. (via Semantic Scholar)

Efficacy of inguinal buffered lidocaine and intranasal flunixin meglumine on mitigating physiological and behavioral responses to pain in castrated piglets

FRONTIERS IN PAIN RESEARCH, 4.

By: M. Lopez-Soriano n , V. Merenda  n, S. Anderson n, P. Trindade *, M. Leidig, K. Messenger n, J. Ferreira  n, M. Pairis-Garcia n 

Contributors: M. Lopez-Soriano n , V. Merenda  n, S. Anderson n, P. Trindade *, M. Leidig, K. Messenger n, J. Ferreira  n, M. Pairis-Garcia n 

author keywords: swine; local anesthetic; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID); cortisol; castration; pain scale; animal welfare; Unesp-Botucatu pig composite acute pain scale (UPAPS)
TL;DR: Intranasal FM was able to effectively reduce the physiological piglet's response immediately post-castration and Inguinal buffered lidocaine had no effect on the either physiological or behavioral response to pain. (via Semantic Scholar)

Interactive euthanasia training program for the dairy industry: Implementation and perceived respondent knowledge change

JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 106(8), 5659–5671.

By: V. Merenda  n, E. Oliveira *, M. Lopez-Soriano n , A. Arruda *, A. Robbins* & M. Pairis-Garcia n 

author keywords: dairy; euthanasia; welfare; training
TL;DR: Age and euthanasia experience were significantly associated with the respondents' perceived knowledge; suggesting that younger, less-experienced caretakers on-farm should be prioritized to receive training. (via Semantic Scholar)

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)

2022 journal article

Efficacy of transdermal flunixin in mitigating castration pain in piglets

FRONTIERS IN PAIN RESEARCH, 3.

By: M. Lopez-Soriano n , V. Merenda  n, P. Trindade *, S. Luna * & M. Pairis-Garcia n 

Contributors: P. Trindade *

author keywords: pain; castration; transdermal flunixin; swine; pain scale; UPAPS; animal welfare
TL;DR: The UPAPS effectively distinguished varying levels of painful and non-painful states in castrated piglets as observed via deviations in total pain scores across timepoints, and future work should evaluate implementation of this pain management protocol on a wide scale commercial farm setting.
