Simple Summary: Since 2021, surgical piglet castration must be performed with complete pain elimination according to the Animal Protection Law in Germany. General anaesthesia by isoflurane inhalation, which can be performed by the farmer, or by injection of ketamine and azaperone, which must be performed by a veterinarian, are the options available. At present, local anaesthesia is still under debate because of the lack of proof of complete pain elimination and the pain on injection. Citation: Söbbeler, F.J.; Wendt, S.; We tested three local anaesthetics (procaine, lidocaine, and mepivacaine) at two different doses Briese, A.; Tünsmeier, J.; Waldmann, each. Because pain responses can be masked by reactions caused by handling, the piglets were K.-H.; Kästner, S.B.R.; von Altrock, A. given superficial isoflurane anaesthesia. The pain on injection to the testes was compared with
