27. Operations such as attaching elastic bands to the tails of sheep, tail-docking, cutting of teeth, trimming of
beaks and dehorning are generally not allowed in the organic management system. Some of these operations
may, however, be authorized in exceptional circumstances by the competent authority or its delegate, for
reasons of safety (e.g. dehorning in young animals) or if they are intended to improve the health and welfare of
the livestock. Such operations must be carried out at the most appropriate age and any suffering to the
animals must be reduced to a minimum. Anaesthetic should be used where appropriate. Physical castration is
allowed in order to maintain the quality of products and traditional production practices (meat-type pigs,
bullocks, capons, etc) but only under these conditions.
