…It is hoped that this review may assist the future development of more standardized methods of assessing pain mitigation in neonatal

tration is reported to significantly reduced the sleep response, and resulted in increased active behaviours in the 8 hrs following castration or sham handling in neonatal piglets[34]. It could be hypothesised…

…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…

…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…

…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…
