BENEFITS OF TAIL DOCKING LAMBS.
- Reduces dag formation and thus minimises susceptibility to fly-strike
- Improves external parasite control
- Improves the efficiency of dagging, crutching and shearing
- Allows for management flexibility to finish lambs under variable weather conditions
- Improves the cleanliness of the wool
- Reduces handling required pre-slaughter for crutching/dagging
- Reduces faecal contamination and risks to food safety at livestock processing plant
HOW IT WORKS
The wedge-shaped iron blade heated by gas, is used to both cut and cauterise the tail in one operation. The lamb is held in an inverted position by a cradle or chute. To avoid infections, do not dock wet lambs or in wet weather. Leave enough dock on the lamb to fully cover the vulva.
