Abstract

A technique for obtaining continuous analgesia of the paralumbar fossa in cows without loss of the motor control of the pelvic limbs has been described. The technique for catheterization of the epidural space at the lumbo-sacral interspace was performed on ten nonpreg nant cows without premedication in order to determine the analgesic effects and the dose of 2% procaine hydrochloride solution.
