title: [Several surgical operations in animal husbandry for healthy birds required or implemented by animal welfare regulations].
abstract: Trimming of the comb, devocalisation, trimming of claws, pinioning and caponisation of birds are procedures, which are often requested or carried out by keepers of animals. Surgery of this kind, however, has far-reaching consequences for the affected animal. A well considered range of indications is a basic requirement for the performing of the mentioned surgical procedures by a veterinarian.
