Denmark has introduced a new national compensation program to encourage pig farms to raise and slaughter more pigs with intact tails, gradually phasing out the conventional practice of tail docking.
Compensation Measures: Danish pig farms will receive 50 Danish kroner (approximately 55 RMB) for each pig slaughtered with an intact tail.
Target: The program aims to increase the annual production of pigs with intact tails in Denmark to 4 million head by 2028. The short-term target is 1 million head by 2026.
Funding Source: The compensation funds for this program will be pooled from the "Pig Levy Fund." A slaughter fee must be paid to this fund for each pig slaughtered in Denmark. This pig tail compensation program is funded by an additional fee added to this slaughter fee, specifically earmarked to reward pigs slaughtered with intact tails.
This move is part of Denmark's "Vision 2050" strategy for the pork industry, a long-term industry strategic blueprint launched by the Danish Agriculture & Food Council (DAFC). The core objective is to achieve a balance between high animal welfare, low carbon emissions, high efficiency, and global competitiveness in Danish pork production by 2050.
