Local analgesia in cattle: a review
2003
Steiner, A. (Universitaet Bern, Bern (Switzerland). Wiederkaeuerklinik) | von Rotz, A.
Surgical interventions in cattle are frequently performed under local analgesia. Local analgesia may be carried out in the standing animal without or with slight sedation or with the animal in recumbency after deep sedation. Injection of local analgesics is less time consuming than induction and maintenance of general analgesia and is, therefore, frequently used in private veterinary practice. Precise anatomical knowledge of the nerve supply to the area to be operated is a prerequisite for the successful introduction of a local analgesia. The goal of the present review is to summerize nerve supply and indications for surgery in the area of the head, male genital tract, teat and the claws of the hind limb of cattle.
