QUESTION

Debeaking is best done at the age of?

OPTIONS

(A) 1st day
(B) 14th day
(C) 10th day
(D) 7th day

ANSWER

(A) 1st day

EXPLANATION

Debeaking or beak trimming is commonly performed very early, with the first day being an established timing in some commercial poultry programmes to reduce later cannibalism and feather pecking. Performing it at 7, 10 or 14 days may be used in some systems, but the keyed recommendation here is the first day.
