The use of local anaesthesia in ruminants allows many surgical procedures to be conducted free of pain, efficiently and inexpensively in the field. Local anaesthesia combined with sedation and immobilisation of the animal can replace general anaesthesia for many procedures (e. g. castration, claw amputation). The level of difficulty differs among various local anaesthetic techniques: local infiltration of tissue or anaesthesia of the cornual nerve are easily performed, whereas local anaesthesia of the eye, regional anaesthesia in limbs or anaesthesia for umbilical surgery are more difficult to carry out. This article presents an illustrated overview of the most common local anaesthetic procedures in cattle as well as in small ruminants and serves as a practical guide for veterinarians in the field. In principle, these techniques can likewise be applied in other ruminants or artiodactyls.
在反刍动物中使用局部麻醉可以在现场无痛、高效且低成本地进行许多外科手术。局部麻醉与动物的镇静和固定相结合，可替代许多手术（如去势、爪截肢）中的全身麻醉。不同局部麻醉技术的难度水平有所不同：组织局部浸润或角神经麻醉很容易实施，而眼部局部麻醉、肢体区域麻醉或脐部手术麻醉则较难进行。本文对牛以及小型反刍动物中最常见的局部麻醉程序进行了图文并茂的概述，可为该领域的兽医提供实用指南。原则上，这些技术同样可应用于其他反刍动物或偶蹄目动物。
