Postoperative healing and behaviour when surgical swabs are applied to calf dehorning wounds

Abstract: ObjectiveTo assess the effect on healing and pain‐associated behaviours of covering exposed sinuses after horn amputation under extensive production conditions in northern Australia.MethodsHorned, weaned Brahman‐cross heifers (n = 50) aged approximately 6 months were alternately allocated to have their dehorning wounds either patched with a dry, non‐sterile gauze swab or left untreated. Adherence of swabs and growth rates, healing and pain‐associated behaviour were monitored for 88 days post‐surgery.ResultsHal… Show more

“…Validated scales are ideal to accurately assess pain in animals (COETZEE, 2013). Behavioral analysis (FORDYCE;MCMILLAN;MCgRATH, 2018;LAUDER et al, 2020) and validated pain scales based exclusively on pain behaviors (OLIVEIRA et al, 2014) or even associated with facial expressions (gLEERUP et al, 2015;MÜLLER et al, 2019) have already been developed to assess pain in bovine species. However, there are no validated tools for pain assessment in young calves like the animals used in the current study or for the dehorning procedure.…”
