25. If necessary, piglets must be provided with a source of heat and a solid, dry and comfortable lying area away from the sow where all of them can rest at the same time.
26. Where a farrowing crate is used, the piglets must have sufficient space to be able to be suckled without difficulty.
27. Tail docking and tooth clipping must be carried out only when there is evidence, on the farm, that injuries to sows' teats or to other pigs' ears or tails have occurred as a result of not carrying out these procedures.
28. Where tooth clipping appears necessary, this must only be carried out within seven days of birth.
29. Piglets must not be weaned from the sow at an age of less than three weeks unless the welfare or health of the dam or piglets would otherwise be adversely affected.
