Applied to wounds, it is reported to reduce the pain experi- enced by calves following thermocautery disbudding. While lidocaine and bupivacaine are widely Academic Editor: Alison Small used in medicine, conflicting data exist on the impact of these compounds when applied directly to the surgical wound.

Page 1/20 Abstract Surgical castration is a routine management procedure in swine production that raises welfare concerns due to pain, inflammation, and risk of post-procedure complications. Topical products are commonly applied to castration wounds, but their efficacy in promoting healing and reducing inflammation has not been systematically evaluated. This study investigated the efficacy of five commercially available topical protective products on wound healing, inflammatory responses, and growth performance in piglets undergoing surgical castration. One hundred and ninety piglets were assigned to one of six groups: Iodine, Oinkment®, PhytoCare®, Vetericyn®, Zinc Oxide, or intact controls (NoCast). Treatments were applied immediately after castration (D1). Body weights were recorded at baseline (D0) and at weaning. Blood samples were collected on days 0
