Development and validation of pain models in food animals

Award for developing and validating pain models in food animals to improve animal welfare and regulatory approval of analgesics, reducing risks of unapproved drug residues in the food supply.

Description

This project supports public health by contributing to the mechanisms for approval of new animal drugs, specifically analgesics for food animals, thereby lessening the risk of violative residues in the food supply from the use of unapproved drugs. The project involves developing models to evaluate the efficacy of analgesics in food animals, including pigs, goats, and calves, and aims to improve on-farm animal welfare and regulatory processes.
