Topical Symposium - Tail Biting and Tail Docking

TAIL BITING AND TAIL DOCKING IN PIGS
S.H. DONE, J. GUISE, D.J. CHENNELLS

Abstract
A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of tail docking on behaviour following docking, using different methods and to determine the effect of tail docking on the physical structure of the tail. This study was prompted to investigate the very limited study of Simonsen et al., (1991) who showed the presence of neuromas in the docked tails.
