Shoof Dehorner Barnes 32cm Economy at a glance
Suitable for
Cattle

Economy Barnes dehorners offer a simple dehorning solution for calves up to about 15 months old. They are a low-cost tool used to scoop out the whole horn bud, ideally also with a ring of hair at the base to ensure prevention of regrowth.

The jaws are from the same former and are flared to meet the handle; they do not make a perfect cut at all times.

Use the 32cm tool for calves up to eight months, and the 42cm tool for calves up to 15 months.

Features

  • Economy tool for calf dehorning
  • Removes horn bud and hair
  • Twist motion seals blood vessels
Place the dehorner so the widest part of the cutting blade is aligned with the widest part of the base of the horn. Close the handles of the instrument and place it on the calf's horn. Dehorning is completed by pressing the instrument firmly against the calf's head and swiftly opening the handles of the dehorner. A twisting motion, when the handles are nearly completely opened, causes vascular spasm and helps crush and seal the vessel before the final cut through the skin. Use a pair of forceps to pull the bleeding vein to stop the bleeding. If it is still bleeding, use a blood stop powder or a hot iron to cauterise the wound. Disinfect the dehorner between animals. Monitor animals for infection for the next 2 weeks.
