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).
