Although this procedure is painful, analgesia and local anesthesia at the time of castration is not commonly administered in the US (Wagner et al., 2020). Pain management on US swine farms is limited primarily due to the lack of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved products labeled for pain control in swine (Pérez-Pedraza et al., 2018). Therefore, identifying realistic and effective pharmaceutical products that can be approved for use on farms is needed in the US. Lack of pain management at the time of castration may also be due to the idea that neonates due not perceive pain as severely due to underdeveloped nervous systems at birth, despite empirical evidence otherwise (Adcock, 2021). In order to mitigate piglet castration acute and chronic pain effectively, a multimodal analgesic approach must be considered and take into account logistical and economic considerations for the producer (Wagner et al., 2020). Currently, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) and local anesthetics are promising products for pain management for large commercial swine systems that
