Calf dehorning is mainly for the following reasons, considering animal welfare, livestock management, and safety:
1. Reduce the risk of injury
Adult horns can trigger fights among similar species, leading to injuries or infections.
Facilitates centralized livestock management and reduces accidental injuries to livestock workers and other animals.
2. Enhancing Animal Welfare
Early dehorning (usually 2-8 weeks of age) is less painful and recovers faster than surgery in adulthood.
Modern methods such as electrocautery or chemical ablation are used with local anesthesia to reduce pain.
3. Economic and Operational Advantages
Hornless cattle require less space for feeding and have lower transportation costs.
Reduce veterinary expenses for treating fighting wounds.
4. Breeding Improvement Trend
Some ranches directly select natural hornless breeds (such as Angus cattle) to gradually replace artificial horn removal.
Note: Standardized farms must comply with animal welfare regulations, and dehorning operations must be completed by professionals.
Optimal Time for Calves Dehorning:
2~8 weeks old (14~56 days old) is the conventional recommended period. At this time, the horn buds have just developed but have not firmly attached to the skull, making the operation less painful and recovery faster.
No later than 3 months old, otherwise the nerve development of the corneal base will be incomplete, causing heavy bleeding during surgery and slow healing.
Electric Dehorning: 2~6 weeks old, with high temperature destroys keratinocytes, requires local anesthesia, fast healing (7~10 days)
Precautions
Later than 8 weeks of age: Veterinary assistance required, post-surgery antibiotics needed to prevent infection.
Animal welfare: Whatever method is used, pain relief and disinfection measures must be included.
How to use:
1) Prepare at least 5-10 minutes in advance.
2) put the wiper into the calf corner, and gently force.
3) Rotate the wiper when the charred cows are smoked.
4) continue to iron for 3-5 seconds, the time should not be too long, especially for young calves,
otherwise the heat will pass through the cranial cavity and damage the brain.
5) When the calf angle base appears copper color ring, the corner work is completed.
Feature:
The second generation of calf wrench, to overcome the first generation of angle can not be a long time heating the shortcomings,
The use of inlaid heating wire copper rod on the branded head with internal heat heating, can continue to work more than 20 hours.
Through the corner of the corner of the corner of the angle of the hole accurately,
quickly calf horns of the growth point of death, so as to achieve the effect of cornering.
