Product overview
Veterinary dehorners: patterns, sizes and what to specify.
A dehorner removes the horn from cattle using a cutting head operated by long handles. The scoop pattern has a curved cutting blade that scoops the horn bud from a calf, and the guillotine pattern uses a blade that slides through the horn. Sizes are chosen for the age of the animal, from small calf horns to adult horns.
Blade sharpness and alignment decide how cleanly the dehorner cuts, and handle length decides the leverage available. We confirm pattern, blade size and handle length from your drawing or reference piece. Dehorning should be performed by trained persons and in line with local animal welfare rules; we supply the instrument only.
