Herbal Dehorning Paste (5 gm) – Safe & Effective Horn Bud Removal for Calves

Herbal Dehorning Paste is a specialized veterinary formulation designed for the safe and bloodless dehorning (disbudding) of young calves. Supplied in an easy-to-use syringe, this paste effectively cauterizes the horn bud to prevent horn growth. It is most effective when applied to calves ideally under 48 hours of age. The herbal composition offers a reliable alternative to mechanical dehorning, minimizing stress and bleeding for the animal.

Advantages

• Minimizes Stress: Provides a bloodless method of disbudding, reducing pain and stress compared to hot iron or cutting methods.

• Easy Application: Comes in a pre-filled syringe for precise dosage and easy handling.

• Cost-Effective: A single 5 gm syringe is sufficient for multiple applications (depending on usage per animal).

• Safe for Young Calves: Specifically formulated for early-stage application (ideally < 48 hours) for best results.

Product Specifications & Usage Details

Indications

• Prevention of horn growth in newborn calves (Disbudding).

• Managing horn buds in dairy calves to prevent future injury to herd mates.

• Suitable for early-age intervention (0-2 days old).

Dosage & Application Instructions

Strictly follow these steps for effective results:

1. Timing: Apply as soon after birth as possible, ideally when the calf is under 48 hours old.

2. Preparation: Trim away the hair on and around the horn bud to expose the skin.

3. Protection: Apply a ring of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) around the horn bud, strictly beyond the area where the paste will be applied. This prevents the paste from spreading to surrounding skin or eyes.

4. Application: Apply a thin film of paste (approximately 1 gm) to each horn bud using the syringe.

5. Post-Care: Allow the calf to rest out of the rain and away from other animals to ensure the paste stays in place and dries effectively.
