Animal Welfare, 24(1), 93–99.
author keywords: animal welfare; behaviour; flunixin meglumine; lameness; meloxicam; swine
TL;DR:
It is suggested that meloxicam mitigates pain sensitivity as demonstrated by higher frequency of standing and lower frequency of lying compared to saline-treated sows.

Journal of Animal Science, 93(5), 2100–2110.
author keywords: lameness; NSAID; pain; sows
MeSH headings : Analgesics / therapeutic use; Animals; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal / administration & dosage; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal / pharmacology; Biomechanical Phenomena; Clonixin / analogs & derivatives; Clonixin / pharmacology; Female; Foot / pathology; Gait; Lameness, Animal / chemically induced; Lameness, Animal / complications; Lameness, Animal / drug therapy; Meloxicam; Microcomputers; Pain / drug therapy; Pain / etiology; Pain / veterinary; Pregnancy; Pressure; Swine; Swine Diseases / chemically induced; Swine Diseases / drug therapy; Thiazines / pharmacology; Thiazoles / pharmacology; Weight-Bearing / physiology
TL;DR:
Flunixin meglumine and meloxicam administration mitigated pain sensitivity in sows after lameness induction when pain sensitivity was evaluated with the embedded microcomputer-based force plate system and GAITFour pressure mat gait analysis walkway system.

Sow behavioral responses to transient, chemically induced synovitis lameness
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section A — Animal Science, 65(2), 122–125.
author keywords: pain; Lameness; animal welfare; swine
TL;DR:
Stable, lying and drinking frequencies seem to be promising sow behavioral tools when transitioning from sound to lame states, and the induced lame foot had no observed effect on lying side preference.

Case study: Treatment of oral and locomotory stereotypic behaviors in a mature sow
Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 9(5), 269–273.
author keywords: swine; stereotypies; environmental enrichment; behavior modification
TL;DR:
This study is one of the first reports to evaluate the treatment of established stereotypies in a mature sow and the promise of environmental enrichment as an effective treatment strategy is suggested.

Measuring the efficacy of flunixin meglumine and meloxicam for lame sows using nociceptive threshold tests
Animal Welfare, 23(2), 219–229.
author keywords: animal welfare; flunixin meglumine; lameness; meloxicam; nociceptive threshold; swine
TL;DR:
Flunixin meglumine and meloxicam administration mitigated pain sensitivity in lame sows post lameness induction when pain sensitivity was evaluated with pressure algometry.

Pharmacokinetics of meloxicam in mature swine after intravenous and oral administration
Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 38(3), 265–270.
MeSH headings : Administration, Oral; Animals; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal / administration & dosage; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal / blood; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal / pharmacokinetics; Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid / veterinary; Cross-Over Studies; Female; Injections, Intravenous / veterinary; Mass Spectrometry / veterinary; Meloxicam; Swine / metabolism; Thiazines / administration & dosage; Thiazines / blood; Thiazines / pharmacokinetics; Thiazoles / administration & dosage; Thiazoles / blood; Thiazoles / pharmacokinetics
TL;DR:
The results of this study suggest that meloxicam is well absorbed after oral administration, and is likely to be well absorbed in mature swine after intravenous and oral administration.

Development and refinement of a technique for short-term intravascular auricular vein catheter placement in mature sows
Laboratory Animals, 48(1), 78–81.
author keywords: catheterization; auricular vein; sow; refinement
MeSH headings : Anesthetics, Local / therapeutic use; Animals; Catheterization / methods; Catheterization / veterinary; Catheters, Indwelling / veterinary; Ear Auricle / blood supply; Female; Reproducibility of Results; Restraint, Physical / methods; Restraint, Physical / veterinary; Skin Cream / therapeutic use; Sus scrofa; Time Factors; Veins
TL;DR:
A protocol using a topical anesthetic cream and minimal physical restraint to place indwelling catheters in the auricular vein of six multiparous sows was developed, allowing a large drug volume to be administrated successfully during the trial without relying on prolonged restraint or general anesthesia of the sow.

Pharmacokinetics of flunixin meglumine in mature swine after intravenous, intramuscular and oral administration
BMC Veterinary Research, 9(1), 165.
author keywords: Swine; Gilt; Lameness; Flunixin meglumine; Pharmacokinetics; NSAIDs; Oral bioavailability
MeSH headings : Administration, Oral; Animals; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal / administration & dosage; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal / pharmacokinetics; Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal / therapeutic use; Area Under Curve; Biological Availability; Clonixin / administration & dosage; Clonixin / analogs & derivatives; Clonixin / blood; Clonixin / pharmacokinetics; Clonixin / therapeutic use; Cross-Over Studies; Female; Half-Life; Injections, Intramuscular / veterinary; Injections, Intravenous / veterinary; Swine; Swine Diseases / drug therapy; Swine Diseases / physiopathology
TL;DR:
The results of the present study suggest that FM oral administration is not the most effective administration route for mature swine when compared to IV and IM and lower F and Cmax of PO-FM in comparison to IM-FM suggest thatPO-FM is less likely to be an effective therapeutic administration route.
