19 19/3/218 Final Remarks NEB, pain, inflammation and stress during the periparturient period can negatively affect animal well-being and performance Different alternatives have been proposed to treat pain and inflammation in dairy cows after calving However, controversy still exists regarding the type of drug use, route of administration and length of treatment Recent research showed promising results regarding the use of a short-term treatment with aspirin for pain and inflammation after calving, improving cows wellbeing and performance Final Remarks NSAID treatment should be used as a temporary strategy Further efforts should be aimed at identifying preventive strategies (e.g., dry cow comfort, nutrition) to improve cow comfort ( NEB, stress and inflammation) at calving, thus improving animal well-being and performance during early lactation Adrian A.
