Zusammenfassung:To evaluate the efficacy of a vapocoolant spray to provide local anaesthesia for calves during ear tagging and ear notching. Randomized study. Twenty Black Angus calves aged 4–16 weeks old. Temperature validation studies using thermocouples and a temperature data logger were conducted on dead and live tissue to determine optimal spray distance and duration to achieve tissue anaesthesia (
