Application

The device is intended for dehorning young animals in farm conditions. It allows the procedure to be performed on the surface without long equipment preparation. It works well where reducing working time per animal is important. This allows it to be used in daily herd management by people responsible for calf rearing.

Principle of operation

AirBuddex works by locally applying hot air to the horn buds. A brief application of about 10 seconds per horn leads to intense tissue destruction in the treated area. The device heats up quickly and is ready to use after about one minute. The ergonomic design facilitates precise handling of the device during the procedure.

In practice

The short heating time shortens work preparation, while the quick application reduces the time spent per animal. The working temperature and mode of operation are set for superficial, precise action in the treatment area. The metal case makes it easy to store and transport the device between rooms or workstations. It is a solution for farms that need equipment for regular dehorning of calves and want a device ready for use without long waiting times.
