Results indicate that the pain-related behaviors in pigs from the UPAPS have different statistical weights.

Castrated piglets treated with transdermal flunixin demonstrated lower total pain scores and required less analgesic intervention immediately post-castration compared to castrated piglets receiving no treatment.

Results suggest that orbital tightening and ear position may be reliable facial action units for the piglet grimace scale.

Procaine, lidocaine, bupivacaine, and mepivacaine are highly effective at reducing signs of nociception during castration under light isoflurane anesthesia.

Transmammary delivery of firocoxib to piglets reduces stress and improves average daily gain after castration, tail docking, and teeth clipping.

Sampling technique validated to monitor PRRSV-2 using serosanguinous exudate or processing fluids (PFs) from tissues obtained during tail docking and castration provides a general framework to interpret PRRSV-2 surveillance program results more accurately.

Surgical castration has a negative impact on production in the suckling period, especially in pigs in the three lower quartiles for body weight.

This study provides descriptive information on the practice of piglet castration across 24 European countries.

Vaccination in females did not alter carcass and meat quality, and specific interests should consider reproductive behavior in free-range conditions.

This study demonstrates the successful transfer of meloxicam from sows to piglets through milk and corresponding analgesia.

In this study, intact and neonatally surgically castrated male pigs were compared along puberty for some immune parameters and hormone receptor expression in lymphoid organs.

The us of chicory root by product in finishing diets may reduce skatole concentrations, without any negative impact on meet palatability.

In the present study, possible differences in behavior, production results and meat quality between entire males and gilts, both housed in single-sex groups but with visual contact to other groups, were investigated.

Feed intake may affect skatole and indole concentrations in the adipose tissue.

Tolfenamic acid tended to be more efficient than meloxicam both during and post-castration.

After the second dose of vaccine, pigs penned with entire males had more injuries than pigs in immunologically castrated pens.
