Use of local anaesthesia for pain management during husbandry procedures in Australian sheep flocks (original) (raw)

Small Ruminant Research, 2009

Abstract

Mulesing (removal of breech skin for blowfly strike control), castration, tail-docking and ear-knotching are routine husbandry procedures conducted on many millions of lambs annually in Australia, causing considerable pain and suffering. However, establishing an effective alternative to mulesing is proving to be a difficult and prolonged process. This is particularly so for producers of high-quality fine wool from Merino sheep
