Thirty goats (5 negative controls and 25 submitted to orchiectomy) were filmed for 7 min at the time points 24 h before and 2 h, 3 h (1 h after analgesia), and 24 h after orchiectomy. After content validation, according to an ethogram and literature, four blind observers analyzed the videos randomly to score the UGAPS, repeating the same assessment in 30 days. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, the UGAPS is unidimensional. Intra- and interobserver reliability was very good for all raters (Intraclass correlation coefficient ≥85%). Spearman’s correlation between UGAPS versus VAS was 0.85 confirming the criterion validity. Internal consistency was 0.60 for Cronbach’s α Cronbach and 0.67 for McDonald’s ω. The item-total correlation was acceptable for 80% of the items (0.3–0.7). Specificity and sensitivity based on the cut-off point were 99% and 90%, respectively. The scale was responsive and demonstrated construct validity shown by the increase and decrease of scores after surgery pain and analgesia, respectively. The cut-off point for rescue analgesia is ≥3 of 10, with an area under the curve of 95.27%. The UGAPS presents content, criterion, and construct validities, responsiveness, and reliability to assess postoperative pain in castrated goats.}, number={13}, journal={ANIMALS}, author={Fonseca, Mariana Werneck and Trindade, Pedro Henrique Esteves and Pinho, Renata Haddad and Justo, Andre Augusto and Tomacheuski, Rubia Mitalli and Silva, Nuno Emanuel de Oliveira Figueiredo da and Goncalves, Heraldo Cesar and Luna, Stelio Pacca Loureiro}, year={2023}, month={Jul} }
