Tail docker piglet
Here you will find professional tail docking equipment for docking piglets' tails.
When docking piglet tails, the tails of the newborn piglets are burnt off and the vessels are closed at the same time. The immediate sealing of the vessels reduces the Penetration of pathogens. The piglet tails are left about 2-3 cm long.
Why are piglet tails docked?
Many people wonder whether it is absolutely necessary to dock piglets' tails. And yes, in professional animal husbandry docking is often indeed necessary and serves the subsequent animal welfare. The background to docking is to prevent cannibalism among the pigs, which can be caused by long tails in the rearing phase and pig fattening.
