  "summary": "This study evaluated five topical products for post-castration wound care in piglets. No product improved wound healing or reduced systemic inflammation under a single-application protocol, though they were safe and did not affect growth. Infrared thermography showed promise as a non-invasive inflammatory indicator.",
