C/ Isla conejera s/n. 50013 Zaragoza, Spain 4 Sydney School of Veterinary Science, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia Contact: Aurora Ortín, aortin@unizar.es Abstract: In this study we evaluated the effect of a topical wound gel formulation containing local anaesthetics lignocaine and bupivacaine, with cetrimide and adrenalin (Tri-Solfen®; TS) on the concentrations of serum cortisol (SC) and the acute phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) in tail-docked lambs. Forty-four female lambs with similar weights were recruited into four equal cohorts: Groups A and C, the tail was excised with a scalpel without anaesthesia and Groups B and D, the tail was surgically excised and stitched under general anaesthesia (GA). C and D groups were immediately sprayed with TS. Blood samples were collected before tail docking and at different time intervals post-tail excision. Concentra-tions of SC and SAA were determined using ELISA assays (Salivary Cortisol ELISA SLV-2930, DRG Diagnostics, Marburg, Germany; PHASE TM Serum Amyloid A Assay, Tridelta Development Ltd., Maynooth, Ireland). Statistical analysis was
