  "summary": "This study assessed the effectiveness of a topical anaesthetic (Tri-Solfen) and carprofen on Merino lambs undergoing ring or surgical castration. Knife castration caused higher cortisol responses than ring castration. Tri-Solfen reduced cortisol and improved behaviour after knife castration. Carprofen reduced acute pain in ring castration. Analgesics offered modest pain relief, with no synergistic effects.",
