1.Description of Bloodless Cattle Calf Saw Angle Grinder Remover 

After the horns are fixed, the horns are cut by an electric cutter from the bottom of the horns with an electric cutter. The angle removal speed is fast and the operation is simple. After the horns are removed, the cattle can be prevented from being injured due to fighting, especially the breasts will not be hurt by the following cattle. Horned cattle are quieter and easier to manage.

Fix the horns, plug in the power, wait for the saw blade to become hot, push the saw blade, the horns will be removed as soon as you press it, and the cattle can hardly feel pain.

Horns and Their Growth

Horns are the pairs of hard, bonelike, permanent growths projecting from the heads of cattle. They grow from a unique area of skin cells at the base of the horn. At about two months of age, horns become attached to the frontal bone of the skull. A sinus lies within the skull beneath the horn bud. As the horn grows and attaches to the skull, this frontal sinus joins into the adjacent portion of the horn.

Disbudding and Dehorning Defined

Horned cattle have horns because they have not been dehorned or they are not polled. Some breeds are naturally (genetically) hornless because they do not grow horns. Dehorning of horned cattle is the process of removal of their horns or the process of preventing their growth. A polled animal is one that grew no horns or one that was dehorned. Disbudding by chemical or hot iron destroys the horn-producing cells of the horn bud. Surgical disbudding removes the horn bud and the horn-producing cells of the horn bud. Dehorning removes the horn and horn-producing tissue after horns have formed from the bud.

Reasons For Dehorning ******

Advisors commonly recommend dehorning young calves to:

• reduce the risk of injury and bruising to herd mates
• prevent financial losses from trimming damaged carcasses caused by horned feedlot cattle during transport to slaughter
• require less space at the feed bunk and in transit
• decrease risk of injury to farmworkers, horses and dogs
• decrease the risk of death, illness, and setback by dehorning young calves versus older calves
• gain a price advantage by offering hornless cattle at auction
• produce docile cattle that are easier to handle
• decrease aggressiveness at the feed bunk
• enhance on-farm safety for animals, producers, and employees
• facilitate easier use of handling facilities

Managing Horned Cattle

Owners may choose to manage their cattle with or without horns. For beef cattle, the selection will depend on the available handling facilities, the producer’s ability, the awareness of dehorning effects, and the market available for the calves. Owners with guaranteed buyers willing to purchase green calves (horns and testicles in place) at the same price as processed calves (castrated and dehorned), might be advised to avoid these procedures. However, this buyer is very rare. Most purchasers of green calves are well aware of the risks associated with processing older calves and routinely bid less at auction. Preconditioned (castrated, dehorned, vaccinated, bunk-adjusted) calves may bring a premium price. Generally, horned cattle are discounted at auction. Breeders of horned Herefords may use methods to train horns to grow in a cosmetically appealing fashion – just like braces on your teeth.

For dairy cattle, naturally polled animals are very rare. Therefore, dehorning is a common management practice on dairy farms. In Ontario, housing systems and milking parlors are designed for dehorned cattle. Organic dairy producers may choose to work with horned cattle. There is a need for housing and feeding equipment designs to accommodate dairy cattle with horns.

Breeding Horns Off Cattle

Dehorning requires labor and imparts risks to the animal and the operator. In addition, producers and consumers have concerns about animal welfare implications associated with dehorning techniques. Breeding polled cattle is a non-invasive way to dehorn the cattle population. Polled inheritance is very complex. Nonetheless, the beef industry is making steady progress towards dehorning through genetics. Producers may resist breeding strategies to dehorn because of a belief that the polled gene is associated with impaired productivity. To date, research studies show no difference for several important traits between horned and polled cattle. Within the beef breeds, producers have access to polled genetics. There is scarce availability within the dairy breeds. The industry needs genetic tests to identify horn status and thus, breed polled cattle. Although the gene for polled has not been identified, its position and markers near it are known. Five markers seem to be close enough to provide 90 percent accuracy of the polled or horned characteristic being inherited by a calf.

A Canadian Expert Committee on Farm Animal Welfare and Behaviour recommends dehorning cattle using genetics as the most welfare-friendly technique. The Committee recommends the promotion of the use of polled sires within the beef industry in Canada. The use of a naturally polled bull from naturally polled ancestors over horned breeding cows should result in the birth of polled calves. Continuous use of polled bulls over these female offspring should ensure that all calves continue to be polled. This method has obvious advantages where polled breeds are available with production characteristics similar to those of horned cattle.

Dehorning Age

Dehorning at a young age minimizes hazards to the calf, the cow-calf producer, and the feedlot owner. Hazards for calves and owners include:

• sickness or death following dehorning of older calves
• decreased liveweight gains in the weeks following dehorning of older calves
• loss of productivity

Many producers choose to dehorn new-born calves because:

• techniques are easier for the operator
• dehorning is less stressful on newborn calves
• of concerns for animal welfare

Although there is no evidence that pain differs between young and older calves, there is less risk with dehorning of young (less than eight weeks) calves.

The cow/calf producer’s decision to dehorn and the timing (age) will be influenced by his or her facility, available labour, expertise with the techniques, awareness of the impact of the procedure on calf health and productivity, and market for the calves. The feedlot purchaser is able to selectively purchase horned or dehorned (polled) cattle with price as well as some of the above factors influencing the decision. In general, dairy calves receive intensive care and producers have an opportunity to dehorn their calves at a young age. It is each owner’s responsibility to ensure humane and safe completion of the dehorning procedure on the calves entrusted in their care.

The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) recommends that, when dehorning is necessary, it be performed within the first week of life.

Timing of Operations

Normal management procedures provide a convenient time for dehorning. At one day of age, insertion of an identification ear tag and injection of the calf with vitamin E-selenium dictates that the calf be restrained. Disbudding could be performed at the same time. Some beef producers prefer to batch the calves up weekly during calving season and dehorn many at one time. Others will catch all calves prior to turning them to grass with their mothers. This may be when calves are six to eight weeks of age and would also be an ideal time to administer the second injection of vitamin E-selenium. 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. The risk of infection and flystrike is too great. Dehorn in early spring, late fall, and winter only.

On each farm, the timing of dehorning will be based on the management system in operation. Dehorning at a young age should suit most management systems.

Economic Significance

At packing plants, trim from bruised carcasses of animals in groups with horned cattle is twice that of comparable groups of hornless cattle. According to the Canadian Beef Quality Audit, bruising costs the industry $10 million a year. Dehorned cattle may incur fewer financial penalties at the sale.

Welfare Significance

Livestock owners and veterinarians recognize that some people consider dehorning offensive. Nonetheless, dehorned cattle create a safer workplace for herdmates, handlers, and workers – a benefit that outweighs the short period of discomfort at dehorning time.

1. All methods of physical dehorning cause pain and side effects.
2. Young calves recover quicker and have fewer complications than older calves.
3. There is no evidence to show young calves experience less pain than older calves.
4. Local anesthesia prior to dehorning eliminates acute pain for a few hours after dehorning.
5. Local anesthesia, combined with a sedative and an analgesic (pain reliever), may provide the best pain relief.
6. Dehorning without anesthesia is inhumane and unethical.
7. The use of pain relief is an additional cost for producers. Pain relief may be limited by the availability of drugs for farmers to use and the scarcity of veterinarians in farm animal practice.
8. In Ontario, auxiliaries (technicians) employed by veterinarians may administer local nerve blocks and dehorn cattle less than two months of age while under immediate, direct or indirect, supervision of a veterinarian. They may dehorn cattle greater than two months of age when under immediate or direct supervision.
9. Use of polled bulls is a welfare-friendly alternative to dehorning. Canadian beef producers are increasing their use of polled bulls.
10. Control of bleeding is essential when dehorning older calves.

Anesthesia and Pain Relief

Choices in anesthesia and pain relief include:

• a short-acting, local anesthetic (e.g., lidocaine) with an effect for about 60-180 minutes
• a sedative (alpha-2 agonist, e.g., xylazine) given alone or in conjunction with a local anesthetic will provide analgesia for a few hours
• a combination of local anesthetic, a sedative (alpha-2 agonist, e.g., xylazine), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) provides pain control of a longer duration
• inclusion of a sedative with the local anesthetic could eliminate the need for physical restraint during dehorning
  Treatment with an analgesic by itself prior to disbudding (dehorning) with caustic paste is not effective in controlling pain.

Blocking the Nerve to the Horn

The corneal nerve supplies sensation to the horn. This nerve travels from immediately behind the eye to the base of the horn. It lies underneath a small overhanging ledge of bone that is a part of the skull. This ledge is easily detected with slight finger pressure. A vein and an artery are found in association with the nerve. Administration of the anesthetic is simple in young calves. Many veterinarians train their clients in the technique.

One nerve provides feeling to each horn. Blocking the nerve makes dehorning easier on the calf and on the person doing the job. You must block one nerve on each side of the head. Lidocaine anesthetic is a prescription drug and is only available from your veterinarian. This procedure requires clinical training and practical experience. Local anesthetic should be given by a veterinarian, a trained veterinary technician, or a trained operator.

Choice of Dehorning Methods

The choices of dehorning techniques range from genetic to surgical. The risks to the calf and the operator vary with each technique. Many producers choose to dehorn newborn calves because the techniques are easier for the operator, less stressful on the calves and they demonstrate concern for the animals’ welfare. Here are the common dehorning methods.

Figure 1. marks the location on a bovine skull of the midpoint between the horn base and the outside corner of the eye. Anaesthetic is injected beneath the ridge of bone shown with the X and arrow in the figure.

Polled Bulls

Horned or polled cows mated to a naturally polled bull (Angus) will give birth to polled calves. However, some non-naturally polled bulls carry the gene for horns and will not breed true for the polled trait.

Advantages and Disadvantages

• welfare-friendly
• availability of genetics for a specific beef or dairy breed
• selection for genetically polled is a trend for exotic breeds
• the sensitive issue for horned Hereford breeders

Chemical Dehorning

Caustic chemicals will prevent the growth of horns when properly applied to the horn buds of newborn (less than one to three weeks of age) calves. The chemical destroys the horn-producing cells around the horn bud. The chemicals are available as sticks or pastes (Figure 2). To protect yourself, wear gloves when applying the chemicals. To protect the calf, avoid application near its eyes. Do not use caustics in rainy weather.

Figure 2. Dehorning paste is a caustic chemical applied to horn buds to destroy horn-producing cells.

Technique

1. Administer sedation, analgesia, and local anesthetic.
2. Expose the horn bud (about the size of a 5-cent piece) by pushing the hair back (Figure 3).
3. Apply the caustic to the horn button. Use a wooden applicator. Apply a thin layer.
4. Re-position the hair over the paste and horn bud – i.e., cover the horn bud.
5. Although the package insert may instruct operators to clip hair at the horn bud, experienced operators have shown that not clipping hair is preferable, because the hair keeps the caustic in place, reduces the risk of irritation to the cow’s udder and flanks, and reduces irritation to other facial skin of the calf.
6. Protect the calf and the cow from accidental caustic burns. One method is to place a patch of duct tape over each horn bud. The duct tape usually falls off in a few days. For dairy calves, keep in individual pens.
7. In some countries, the technique is only permitted in calves less than eight days of age.

Advantages and Disadvantages

• performed at a young age with less stress than some other techniques
• bloodless
• use in any season
• painful without anesthesia
• avoid contact with eyes; operator should wear gloves
• do not use in rainy weather
• not permitted in some countries
• horns or scurs follow improper technique
• requires pain control
