Description
Pain represents a negative welfare state, meaning effective recognition and management is essential in cattle practice. However, bovine pain detection can be challenging, and therapeutic options are often more limited than in other species. This webinar will examine the welfare impacts of pain, review available methods for pain recognition in cattle, and discuss analgesic strategies for a range of clinical conditions.
Learning Objectives
