Dehorning is a common practice in livestock management, primarily aimed at ensuring the safety and welfare of both the animals and their handlers. The process involves removing the horns of cattle, which can be potentially dangerous. The benefits of dehorning are multifaceted: it reduces the risk of injury to other cattle, as horned animals can cause harm to each other, especially in close quarters. For handlers, dehorned cattle are safer to manage and transport, minimizing the risk of injuries during routine handling or when moving the animals between locations. Additionally, dehorned cattle require less space at feeding troughs, which can lead to more efficient feeding practices and reduced competition among animals. This can also translate to less bruising of carcasses during transportation to slaughter facilities, which is not only a welfare concern but also has economic implications. Furthermore, the removal of horns is believed to reduce aggressive behaviors associated with dominance, leading to a more harmonious herd dynamic.
