Abstract: The pain from routine husbandry practices performed on sheep can last several days and sheep often don't receive therapeutic interventions to provide pain relief. Attractive candidates for long-acting pain relief are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). If NSAIDs can be shown to alleviate pain and inflammation when administered orally in sheep, they could be incorporated in feed, providing producers with a practical method to provide long-term pain relief in sheep. The aim of this research was to test the bioavailability and efficacy of carprofen, ketoprofen and flunixin administered orally using a lameness model (turpentine (0.1 ml) injected into one forelimb) developed to enable objective quantitative assessment of the analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions of NSAIDs in sheep.
