- 42: Correct beak trimming resolves poultry welfare issue .
- THE FULL REPORTS This is a summary of the unpublished RIRDC full report titled “Preventing chronic pain developing in layers subject to beak trimming and re-trimming” by Dr Philip C Glatz (phone 08 8303 7786, fax 08 8303 7797), Dr Christine Lunam, Dr John Barnett and Dr Ellen Jongman. ...
- Commercial laying hens beak trimmed to Australian Practice standards do not suffer severe chronic pain, as previously thought, according to research funded by the Rural Industry Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC). ...
- For many years beak trimming has been controversial, with welfare groups closely scrutinising the practice. ... Beak trimming is estimated to reduce bird deaths from aggressive pecking by 25 per cent. The egg industry says that if beak trimming is banned in Australia, all hens will have to be either housed in individual cages or in light-proof sheds. ...
- The major objection to trimming has been the perception that it may induce chronic pain through the formation of traumatic neuromas (bundles of tangled nerve fibres) in the beak stump. However, recent research indicates that neuromas formed when hens are moderately beak trimmed at hatch disappear over time and that hens return to normal feeding and pecking behaviours after beak trimming. ...
- The research – the most comprehensive evaluation of beak trimming yet undertaken – was conducted by Dr Phil Glatz of the South Australian Research and Development Institute, Dr Christine Lunam of Flinders University’s Department of Anatomy and Histology, and Drs John Barnett and Ellen Jongman from the Victorian Institute of Animal Science. ...
- Supporting the findings by the Australian researchers, highly renowned UK poultry researcher, Dr Mike Gentle of the Roslin Institute, who previously held that beak trimming was likely to cause chronic pain similar to that experienced by some human amputees, reports in a new literature study (see box) that he now agrees beak trimming is unlikely to cause long-term pain if done correctly. ...

- examine current welfare concerns attributed to beak trimming by providing sound scientific data for the assessment of chronic pain; and .
- recommend best practice for beak trimming of poultry. ...
- In the evaluation, 40 one-day old commercial (White Leghorn x Australorp) chicks were beak trimmed soon after hatching. ... Another 20 control chicks were not beak trimmed. The trimming – using methods described in the Australian Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Domestic Poultry (1995) – involved using a heated blade on a commercial electric beak trimming machine to cut and cauterise for two seconds half the upper beak and one-third of the lower beak. ...

- jeb.biologists.org
- Choreography of song, dance and beak movements in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) .
- As do many songbirds, zebra finches sing their learned songs while performing a courtship display that includes movements of the body, head and beak. ... All birds changed beak aperture frequently within a single song, and each individuals pattern of beak movements was consistent from song to song. Birds that copied their fathers songs reproduced many of the changes in beak aperture associated with particular syllables. The acoustic consequences of opening the beak were increases in amplitude and peak frequency, but not in fundamental frequency, of song syllables. The change in peak frequency is consistent with the hypothesis that an open beak results in a shortened vocal tract and thus a higher resonance frequency. Dance movements (hops and changes in body or head position) were less frequent, and the distribution of dance movements within the song was not as strongly patterned as were changes in beak aperture, nor were the peaks in the distribution as strongly marked. ...
