Medians and minimum and maximum values of total score for the UNESP-Botucatu unidimensional pain scale (0 – 10) determined by local and blinded observers based on videos obtained during the perioperative period of cattle subjected to orchiectomy.
* Pain scores at M2 significantly higher than at M1 (p < 0.001).
† Pain scores at M3 and M4 significantly lower than at M2 (p < 0.001).
