Dehorning a 7-day-old calf: the farmer shows how it’s done in the video

Then she sprays the desolate horn systems with a wound spray. “So that there is no inflammation”. The next video sequence shows the calf in the early evening, standing again and drinking milk from the teat bucket. “Here you can see the calf that we dehorned this morning,” says Anita Lucassen in the video.

“It’s lively and it’s easy to stroke its head.” The farmer adds: “The procedure is not completely painless for the calf. I would have to stun the animal locally, but as an animal owner I’m not allowed to do that. I would have to have a vet do that.”
