BARRIER II Wound Care Spray with Pain Relief to address pain relief and prevent infection.

Each year in the United States, over 100 million pigs undergo a battery of processing procedures during the first few days or weeks of their life. These include tail docking, castration, tagging and ear notching. Each of these procedures involves a degree of tissue damage resulting in the pig experiencing pain.1 The pain pigs experience from these procedures may result in reduced performance. The swine industry needs a single product that is safe and effective in reducing pain and the risk of infection, resulting in a newt benefit to the welfare of the animal. Aurora Pharmaceutical has developed a unique wound care product to address pain relief and prevent infection.
