About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to SRUC for a quantitative assessment of pain-associated behaviours in male lambs (less than 1 week and 6-8 weeks old) in response to castration or tail docking using a new method (Clampeasy) compared with a 'best welfare practice' method including local anaesthesia and analgesia.
The research aimed to provide evidence of the practicability and effectiveness of Clampeasy, which produces rapid and permanent local anaesthesia of the scrotum/testes and tail, and to determine if it can provide an acceptable on-farm alternative to current practices.
The contract value was AUD 45,156.
