This book provides a comprehensive overview of the issue of tail biting in pigs, one of the most significant welfare and economic problems in the pig industry. With contributions from renowned experts in their fields, it is an essential resource for both scientists, and industry stakeholders. Key topics include the evolutionary roots of the disorder, internal and external risk factors, methods that can be used to address the issue, including human behavioural change, and the wider economic, and ethical considerations. Finally, evidence is provided as to how an intact tail can be used as an ice-berg indicator for overall pig welfare.
