Schmerzhafte Eingriffe bei kleinen Wiederkäuern: Kastration von Böcken

Abstract: ZusammenfassungDie Kastration von Nutztieren wird weltweit durchgeführt und unterliegt in den verschiedenen Ländern unterschiedlichen Reglementierungen. In Deutschland sind schmerzhafte Eingriffe am Tier im Tierschutzgesetz geregelt. Trotzdem wird die Frage der Indikation und Methodik der Kastration von Schaflämmern und Ziegenkitzen unter verschiedenen Haltungsbedingungen kontrovers diskutiert und bewertet, wobei häufig Unterschiede zwischen theoretischen Forderungen und Erfahrungen in der Praxis auftreten.

“…Since the lambs examined in the present study were not radiographically examined until 14 weeks of age, it was not possible to assess which abnormalities were congenital and which developed in the course of rearing. It can be assumed that fractures of the vertebrae arise from trauma, as per previous description of tread injuries in the tail area of undocked animals [ 1 ]. Whether these fractures result in ankyloses in the form of block vertebrae cannot be assessed at present due to the lack of radiographs during the development phase.…”

“…Thus far, the seminal reason cited for the intervention of docking lambs’ tails is to improve hygiene in the anogenital area. This is not only relevant for mating, lambing, slaughter, and shearing, but fundamentally for protection against the development of myiasis [ 1 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. However, various studies have shown that the amputation of the caudal vertebrae in lambs causes significant pain reactions, which are indicated both by increased cortisol levels and by altered behaviour [ 12 , 13 ].…”
