Description
: Dehorner tube made from high quality stainless steel for calves up to 4 months old. Dehorning at an early age (less than eight weeks) reduces the risk of serious infection because the horn bud is removed without opening the sinus (cavity) into the skull. When surgically dehorning older calves, the sinus is opened. On dairy farms, calves may be dehorned by a veterinarian or her assistant during the monthly herd health visit. Avoid the summer and autumn periods when dehorning calves. Risk of infection and fly strike are great. Dehorning early spring, late fall, and winter only. Please only do so with the advice of a professional.
