2017 Podcast Series: Rachel Park

May 9, 2017 — AASV Staff

During the AASV Annual Meeting, 29 veterinary students interviewed conference speakers to gainadditional information about their presentation topic. The next of these MP3 audio interviews is now available to members on the AASV website at https://www.aasv.org/podcast/. In this podcast, we discuss the effects of pain mitigation during piglet castration specifically focusing on analgesics such as meloxicam and lidocaine. Due to increasing consumer interest in farm practices and animal welfare, this is a important research topic that is currently being explored. Student member Lauren Redies interviewed Ms. Rachel Park who presented "Effects of pain mitigation during piglet castration" in the "Research Topics" Session. Watch for additional podcast interviews in the coming weeks!
