From my point of view and according to the experience, the descolmillado should not be practiced, because it is a more stress for the pig, independently of the age in that is carried out, joined to that is carried out not always in the correct way, and we generally find courts in lips, gums and language. For the pressure of the work, many times he/she is not carried out a cut, the reality is that a lot of people break up them with the pincers, what causes that they are chips of the eyetooth together to the gum and they cause bigger lesions to the mammary gland.
If the justification of some people for descolmillar pigs is that they don't injure the mammary gland and to its own litter partners, it is important to clarify that this type of lesions is given when for some reason there are not enough production of milk, or past the days, some teats have dried off. Therefore, the solution is not descolmillar, the solution it is to have the personnel qualified to detect those problems, and to implement the measures correctivas (reacomodo of pigs, nurses' use, premature weanings). |
