The meeting was organised together with a representative from the Dutch Competent Authority. The Competent Authority asked to focus the programme on the issue that Dutch inspectors are currently most confronted with: the ban on routine tail docking. In addition, the delegates were asked to have a look at the output of EURCAW pigs and comment on it. <\/p><p>Topics discussed during the two-day meeting:<\/p><ul><li>Roadmaps to long tails were presented and discussed. Which steps and measures can be taken on a farm to be able to keep pigs with long tails?<\/li><li>A farmer was invited as a guest speaker and talked about his experiences with keeping pigs with long tails and plans for the future;<\/li><li>The scientific background of risk factors for tail biting in pigs was presented. Subsequently issues and problems during inspections were discussed with our experts in small rotating groups;<\/li><li>How routine tail docking can be stopped in Finland and how Germany approaches tail docking and biting was presented and discussed on the second day;<\/li><li>How helpful are the different tools provided by EURCAW-Pigs to help inspectors during their work? <\/li><\/ul><p>A more detailed summary of the discussions will follow soon.
