About: Vent pecking

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Vent pecking is an abnormal behaviour of birds performed primarily by commercial egg-laying hens. It is characterised by pecking damage to the cloaca, the surrounding skin and underlying tissue. Vent pecking frequently occurs immediately after an egg has been laid when the cloaca often remains partly everted exposing the mucosa, red from the physical trauma of oviposition or bleeding if the tissue is torn by her laying an egg. Vent pecking clearly causes pain and distress to the bird being pecked. Tearing of the skin increases susceptibility to disease and may lead to cannibalism, with possible evisceration of the pecked bird and ultimately, death.

dbo:abstract
  • El picaje de cloaca o de ventilación es un comportamiento anormal de las aves realizado principalmente por gallinas ponedoras comerciales. Se caracteriza por un picaje o picoteo (ataque con el pico) compulsivo de la cloaca (ano), la piel circundante y el tejido subyacente.​ El picaje de cloaca ocurre con frecuencia inmediatamente después de que se haya puesto un huevo cuando la cloaca a menudo permanece parcialmente evertida, exponiendo la mucosa,​ enrojecida por el trauma físico de la oviparidad o sangrado si el tejido se desgarra al poner un huevo. El picaje de cloaca claramente causa dolor y angustia al pájaro que se picotea. El desgarro de la piel aumenta la susceptibilidad a sufrir enfermedades y puede conducir al canibalismo, con la posible evisceración del pájaro picoteado y, en última instancia, la muerte. (es)
