…Unfortunately, there are few such methods available for assessing pain associated with castration in neonatal piglets. This is confounded by the neonatal piglet’s physiological response to restraint, handling, and surgical stress…
…Similarly, it is challenging to accurately document pain-related behaviours in neonatal piglets following castration, since such behavioural disturbances are subtle, variably expressed and short-lived as compared with those undergoing handling…

…A range of other measures (including cortisol levels and physiological parameters) were excluded as lacking sensitivity or specific for pain, being inconsistent and/or unreliable measures of pain in castrated neonatal piglets…
