Abstract
A device capable of testing the nociceptive threshold to mechanical stimuli has been developed for use in horses. It was operated by compressed gas and was designed so that the part attached to the horse was semi disposable. The stimulus was applied via a 2mm diameter blunt ended pin and had a number of safety features incorporated in the design to ensure that the maximum force applied was 27 newtons. The device has been used to assess the response to detomidine in a group of thoroughbreds and has proved reliable and robust in use.
