Improving survival, growth rate, and animal welfare in piglets by avoiding teeth shortening and tail docking [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research, 2012
Piglets are subjected to several painful procedures during their first week of life, including ear tagging, teeth clipping or grinding (although routinely prohibited in Europe), tail docking (although routinely prohibited in Europe), needle injections (vaccination and iron injection), and castration might be performed for male piglets.

The long and short of it: A review of tail docking in farm animals

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2011
Tail docking involves amputating a portion of the tail for a variety of reasons. We review the scientific evidence for the rationale for tail docking, a description of the different methods used, the pain response to the procedure and the effectiveness of pain alleviation, and, finally, the alternatives to tail docking and policy regarding the practice.

Design, Synthesis, and Docking Study of Pyrimidine–Triazine Hybrids for GABA Estimation in Animal Epilepsy Models

Archiv der Pharmazie, 2017
A series of new pyrimidine–triazine hybrids (4a–t) was designed and synthesized, from which potent anticonvulsant agents were identified. Most of the compounds exhibited promising anticonvulsant activity against the maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) tests, along with minimal motor impairment with higher safety ...

Assessment of palmitic acid toxicity to animal hearts and other major organs based on acute toxicity, network pharmacology, and molecular docking

Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2023
Palmitic acid is a common ingredient in many foods and traditional Chinese medicines. However, modern pharmacological experiments have shown that palmitic acid has toxic side effects. It can damage glomeruli, cardiomyocytes, and hepatocytes, as well as promote the growth of lung cancer cells. Despite this, there are few reports evaluating the safety of
