Probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) is a simulation-based technique for evaluating the relative importance of different inputs to a complex process model. It is commonly employed in decision analysis and for evaluation of the potential impact of...

Recognition and management of pain in cattle (2008)
Journal Article
Hudson, C., Whay, H., & Huxley, J. (2008). Recognition and management of pain in cattle. In Practice, 30(3), https://doi.org/10.1136/inpract.30.3.126

Attitudes towards pain and its control in farm animals have lagged behind those in companion animal species. However, a considerable amount of work over the past 15 years has focused on the perception of pain in cattle based on objective and subjecti...
