Reducing the impacts of dehorning: New research on wound treatment and management

How can practical wound treatment and management strategies improve animal welfare and production outcomes following dehorning?

In this webinar, Dr Dominique Van der Saag from the University of Sydney will present findings from a series of research studies investigating practical, evidence-based approaches to improving outcomes following dehorning in beef cattle.

You'll discover:

• The impact of horn size and wound severity on healing, recovery and growth performance
• New evidence on the use of aluminium wound sprays to improve dehorning outcomes
• When horn tipping may be a practical alternative to dehorning cattle with larger horns
• Management factors that influence bleeding, healing and production outcomes
• Practical recommendations to support informed on-farm decision making and improve animal welfare.

Join us to explore the science behind better dehorning outcomes and the practical tools being developed to support informed on-farm decisions.
