TAIL DOCKER - KERBL
Product Code: 697105
Tail docking is recommended shortly after birth, max. 3-4 days. Generally tails are docked to a length of 2 – 3 cm. During tail docking the tails of newborn piglets are burnt off and by this the vessels close simultaneously. Pathogens cannot penetrate when the vessels are sealed immediately. The reason for tail docking is to avoid cannibalism among pigs that might take place if tails remain long during rearing and fattening. Complete kit includes tail docker and a can of butane gas. One refill docks up to 120 tails.
