Across the world, each pig farm differs in its approach to tail docking. There are some units with consistent success in keeping pigs with long tails. Others are keen to continue docking to reduce problems with tail biting. Legislation was passed in 1994 banning tail docking in Europe. Increasing enforcement of the legislation means adopting new strategies to ensure compliance. Summary of remarks made by Nicole Kemper Prof. Dr. med. Vet., Director of the Institute for Animal Hygiene, Animal Welfare and Farm Animal Behavior, Veterinary University of Hannover, Germany.

BERLIN, Sept 14 (Reuters) - German exports of pork to non-European countries have essentially been halted since last week, a spokeswoman for the agriculture ministry said on Monday, after Germany confirmed its first case of African swine fever. Veterinarians have stopped signing certificates that previously said the pork originated in an ASF-free country, she added. EU countries, however, are still accepting German pork from regions not affected by the disease, the spokeswoman said. (Reporting by Thomas Seythal Editing by Michelle Adair)
