Piglet Beak Trimming Reduces Mortality Rates
Trimming the beaks of piglets as one-day-old chicks can reduce mortality rates. This practice, often done with heat, aims to mitigate injuries such as pick injuries, which can lead to severe head injuries and death. Approximately 8% of male animals die during the fattening period, often due to these pick injuries.
