Optimum ages for various management activities:

  • Docking (tail removal in lambs) → 3-5 days of age
  • Dubbing (comb removal in poultry) → 3-day old chick
  • Debeaking (beak trimming in poultry) → 1-day old chick
  • Bull nose ring insertion → 8-12 months
  • Bull training start for semen collection → 18 months
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • Option B swaps Dubbing (3-day old) with Debeaking (1-day old).
  • Option C swaps Docking (3-5 days) with Dubbing (3-day old).
  • Option D swaps Bull nose ring (8-12 months) with Bull training (18 months).
