Develop dehorning protocols

Researchers at the University of Guelph suggest the following when it comes to dehorning calves:

• Develop a dehorning protocol; include input from veterinarians and producers during development.
• Consider using a nerve block at dehorning, unless using caustic paste.
• Dehorn calves at a young age.
• Consider using an approved non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug following dehorning.
