Frequency of disagreements between producers and veterinarians about pain management in cattle

Graphical Abstract Summary: This study explored producer and veterinarian perspectives on pain recognition and pain management for cattle, with the charts above showing sources of knowledge that producers and veterinarians used to gain information about pain recognition and treatment. Although both producers and veterinarians relied heavily on personal experience as their main source of knowledge about pain recognition, both groups identified other sources of information including continuing education opportunities and journal articles.
