A scientific review of the long-term phenotypic consequences of painful neonatal procedures in rodents, whose response to pain, fear and anxiety stimuli is initially reduced and then becomes exacerbated with age. These procedures result in cognitive, social and reproductive deficits, which can be transmitted to offspring. The implications for the long-term welfare of farm animals following early painful procedures are discussed.
