Effect of docking on health, blood cells and metabolites and growth of Dorset lambs.

Docking by knife or elastrator had no sustained effect on growth of lambs 0 to 8 wk postpartum. However, during the 2 wk period postdocking, growth of lambs was limited or depressed, regardless of whether lambs were docked by knife at 14, 28 or 42 d of age. Blood hematocrit and hemoglobin were decreased (P less than .01) 1 d after docking by knife and 14 d after docking by elastrator. Neither method of docking proved superior. Regardless of whether lambs were docked by knife or elastrator, tail tissue was destroyed and became necrotic. Numbers of white blood cells increased (P less than .01) in response to docking. This necessitates that lambs be observed often through 2 wk postdocking and that medical treatment be administered when needed.
