A new addition to our series is a volume, which consolidates the
welfare and production issues associated with beak trimming in
poultry. The book outlines the reasons for beak trimming, history
of the practice and new methods under development. The focus of the
book is on the welfare issues associated with the practice. An
assessment is made of the ethics of beak trimming and cannibalism.
The contributors examine beak anatomy, acute and chronic pain and
the physiological changes in the bird associated with beak
trimming. Other areas covered include an evaluation of production,
egg quality and health of birds relative to the severity and method
of beak trimming. Beak trimming has been banned in some countries
and is being phased out in others. A section in the book is devoted
to an examination of alternatives to beak trimming. The
contributors report genetic, environmental enrichment, nutritional
and lighting strategies that could be used to replace beak
trimming, and offer practical solutions, including the use of
fitted devices and beak abrasives. The volume is an important
information source on beak trimming for scientists, students,
welfare groups, policy makers, poultry industry leaders and the
community. It will improve knowledge on why, when and how birds are
trimmed and responses of birds to trimming. Consumers, media and
policy makers will get a better understanding of beak trimming and
the alternatives methods to support sound debate on the issue.
