SHARING OPTIONS: European legislation dictates that pig tail docking is not allowed to be performed routinely. \ Donal O Leary We are still many years away from rearing pigs with undocked tails, as no farm or system is built to cater for it, German pig consultant specialising in behavioural and metabolic disorders Mirjam Lechner has said. The comments came during the second session of the Irish Pig Health Society virtual symposium series 2021, which highlighted various practices for improving pig health and welfare. “We have all our conventional program and the producing system was optimised on cutting tails.
