Dr. Larson’s Dehorning Paste
Dr. Larson’s Dehorning Paste is a topical veterinary product developed to prevent horn growth in newborn calves. Its specialized formula acts chemically on target tissue cells to inhibit horn development. The paste provides an easy-to-apply, effective, and safe alternative to surgical dehorning.
Usage Instructions
– Preparation: Rotate the ring on the syringe handle a quarter turn to unlock.
– Application: Gently press the plunger to apply the paste directly to the target area.
– Protection: Keep the calf separated from the herd for 30 minutes to prevent smearing.
– Moisture Control: Ensure the treated area remains dry for at least 6 hours after application.
One tube is sufficient for approximately 24 calves.
Mechanism of Action
Dr. Larson’s Dehorning Paste should be applied within the first 30 days after birth. Its effectiveness is based on chemically disabling the horn-producing cells at the application site. When used properly, it offers a painless, non-surgical dehorning process.
Use under the supervision of a veterinarian is recommended.
