Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to working under routine supervision with intermittent checking. Responsibility for some roles and co-ordination within a team may be required. Beak trimming of chickens is usually performed within established routines, methods and procedures.
This unit covers the process of beak trimming chickens and defines the standard required to: ensure biosecurity requirements are met if contractors are used; set up equipment correctly so that accurate trims are achieved; minimise stress on the birds by careful handling; cut beak to correct length and cauterise bleeding if necessary; monitor debeaked birds; record details.
