Ethics approval was provided by the University of New England Animal Ethics Committee, Armidale, Australia (19-078). Study 2 was a blinded, randomised, controlled group field safety and efficacy trial. This study was designed to investigate the safety, including wound healing impacts, of Tri- Solfen® applied at the upper recommended dose to calf disbudding wounds under field conditions. The study complied with the following national and international standards: Animals 2021, 11, 869 4 of 17 (i) VICH GL9—Good Clinical Practice; (ii) APVMA Data Guidelines—Efficacy and target animal safety general guidelines. Approval for this project was provided by the University of New England Animal Ethics Committee, Armidale, Australia (19-095). With regard to animal welfare, it is noted that calf disbudding is practiced under a range of different analgesic options in different jurisdictions globally. Although rec- ommended, the use of appropriate anaesthetic and analgesic protocols is generally not compulsory. In a large proportion of cases globally, it is currently performed by farmers without any analgesia whatsoever [1]. Contributing to this state of affairs, there is a com- plete lack of medicines registered as safe and effective for pain alleviation in this setting in many jurisdictions. Internationally harmonised veterinary medicine regulatory require- ments for the development of such medicines require studies of the stand-alone safety impacts of the medications [10]. The combined use of sedation, injected local anaesthesia, or systemic analgesia may confound systemic and/or local toxicity findings due to the
