description Piglets are born with so-called needle teeth which often routinely are cut or grinded. The reasons are that the economic benefit on the production should increase and that damages on both the sow and piglets decreases. Tooth resection means that parts of the original length of the tooth is removed by either tooth cutting or tooth grinding. The negative effects that occur by tooth resection can outnumber the positive effects, since tooth resection can lead to damages on teeth and gums and lead to behavioural disorders and stress to the piglets. The rate of facial injuries can be reduced but damages may still occur depending on resection method. Piglet survival can be influenced positively. A more uniform weaning weight is another possible positive effect, but it may as well be a reduced growth if the damage is too extensive to the piglet. It is more justified to apply tooth resection to reduce udder damage on the sow if she is held in a farrowing crate, but the same results can be achieved by a more suitable living environment such as not being fixated. The positive effects do not outweigh the negative under Swedish conditions so the motivations and reasons for tooth resection should be reconsidered.

Kultingar föds med så kallade nåltänder som ofta rutinmässigt klipps eller slipas. Anledningen är att produktionens ekonomiska vinst ska öka och att skador på både suggan och kultingar ska minska. Med tandreduktion menas att delar av tandens ursprungslängd reduceras genom tandklippning eller slipning. De negativa effekterna som uppstår vid tandreduktion kan överväga de positiva, eftersom tandreduktion kan ge skador på tänder och tandkött samt att det kan leda till beteendestörningar och stress på kultingarna. Graden av ansiktsskador kan minskas men skador kan fortfarande uppstå beroende på reduktionsmetod. Smågris-överlevnaden kan påverkas positivt. En jämnare avvänjningsvikt är en annan möjlig positiv effekt men det kan likaväl bli en minskad tillväxt ifall skadorna blir för omfattande på kultingen och suggan. Det är mer motiverat att tillämpa tandreduktion för att minska juverskador på suggan om suggan fixerad, men samma resultat kan uppnås genom en lämpligare levnadsmiljö såsom inte fixering. De positiva effekterna överväger inte de negativa under svenska förhållanden utan motiveringarna och anledningarna till tandreduktion bör omvärderas. 2016-06-21 First cycle, G2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/9229/1/wahlgren_p_160618.pdf application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/9229/2/wahlgren_p_160618.pdf Wahlgren, Paulina, 2016.
