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