Management of pain associated with bull castration
Resumo |
There is a need to have infertile male cattle in the Australian beef herd. There is, currently, no non-invasive alternative to the castration of cattle, nor is there likely to be one in the near future. There is ample scientific evidence demonstrating that castration causes stress and pain, and with the community increasingly scrutinising farming practices and seeking assurance that they are humane, there is a clear need to develop practical strategies for minimising the pain and stress associated with castration. |
