Xenox at Agrarzone
We stock the ProPig cordless tooth grinder, which reaches the trade through Kerbl. It is designed for pig farmers who need to grind down the tips of piglets' canine teeth when a litter is causing injuries to the sow's udder or to littermates. The battery makes you independent of sockets and cables, so you can work right at the pen. Clean and disinfect the grinding head after every litter before you move on to the next pen.
Frequently asked questions
Should piglet teeth be ground as a matter of routine?
No. Grinding should only be done where it is needed to prevent injuries, and within the first days of life. Always follow the animal welfare rules that apply in your country.
Why grind rather than clip?
Grinding only smooths the tips, so the tooth stays closed. This protects the pulp and reduces the risk of inflammation.
