Minimum discomfort is experienced after application is facilitated. Application of the paste on lambs and kids over 2 weeks old is generally too late to prevent future horn growth, as the horns are too large, especially in males. Buck kids (males) usually have palpable buds at birth. Doe kids (females) are a little slower in developing horns. Clip the hair over and around horn buds. Apply a thin, even film of Dehorning Paste over buds and to a narrow ring of skin at the base of the horn bud. This ring of skin grows the horn. Too thick an application may result in deeper penetration and activity with discomfort. Dehorn dairy bucks at 3 to 4 days; dairy does at 4 days and always before 10 days. Pygmy bucks should be dehorned at 7 days; pygmy does at 7 to 10 days. Twenty to thirty minutes after paste application, scrape off paste and carefully neutralize treated area by carefully flooding with water, then vinegar. The wash water\/vinegar must not come in contact with animal's eyes. Kids and lambs may be wrapped in a blanket for a short period to prevent rubbing treated area with their hooves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo help contain dehorning paste, prior to application, form ring of Dr. Naylor Udder Balm or petroleum jelly just beyond paste application area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf treated calves are confined in pens tie them away from other animals to prevent rubbing paste on each other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not allow freshly treated animals to nurse until paste has dried\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep treated animals out of rain for at least 6 hours after Dehorning Paste has been applied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDehorning paste comes in 4 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not apply more than once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used as dehorning paste for goats or dehorning paste for cattle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Animal Health International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929738084665,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/2586\/9881\/files\/2005145.webp?v=1770761855","url":"https:\/\/gilroyfarmerssupply.com\/products\/dehorning-paste-4-oz","provider":"Gilroy Farmers Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
