摘要: To determine the effects of anti-in- flammatory ketoprofen, alone or with local anesthesia (LA) during castration on cortisol, immune, and acute phase responses, 40 Friesian calves (215 ± 3.5 kg) were assigned as follows: 1) control, 2) surgical (SURG), 3) SURG following ketoprofen (3 mg/kg BW i.v.; + K), 4) LA (9 mL 2% lidocaine hydrochloride to each testis; LA), 5) K (SURG K). Total cortisol response was greater (P < 0.05) in SURG, LA, than control not different between calves. The interval peak longer for either On d 3, KLH-induced interferon- γ production lower calves, whereas concanavalin A-induced in-
