Cauterization is an important factor in preventing infections following tail docking in young piglets in farrowing units, which led Cimac Élevage to develop this handheld electric device in the 1980s.
At the time, this represented a major advancement, as hemostatic pliers did not provide the same level of protection against health risks for piglets.
This electric tail docker model has been a benchmark on the market for many years.
The main advantage of the electric tail docker lies in the quality of the work performed: it cuts and cauterizes tails in a single operation.
Switch off the device during periods of inactivity.
To ensure proper cauterization, we recommend starting the tail cut from underneath, where blood circulation is greatest.
The Cimac Élevage tail docker allows fast and safe tail docking, ensuring both piglet welfare and operator safety.
