During the docking process, the tails of newborn piglets are cauterised and the blood vessels are sealed at the same time. The immediate sealing of the blood vessels prevents pathogens from entering. As a rule, the tails are left approx. 2–3 cm long. The purpose of docking is to prevent cannibalism among pigs, which can be triggered by long tails during the rearing and fattening phase.
