Abstract

Acute pain diagnosis in cattle is a critical component of animal welfare and management in veterinary practice. This study explores the methods for diagnosing acute pain in cattle, focusing on clinical signs, behavioral changes, and physiological markers. Acute pain, often resulting from injury, infection, or surgical procedures, can significantly impact an animal's overall health and productivity. Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial for improving animal welfare. This article reviews various diagnostic approaches and the use of pain assessment tools, aiming to improve clinical outcomes and welfare standards in cattle.
