Agri Health Electric Mains Dehorner for Livestock
Description
Agri Health Electric Dehorner - Mains Powered Disbudding Iron
The Agri Health Electric Dehorner is a mains-powered disbudding iron used to remove horn buds on young livestock such as calves, kids and lambs. It is best for farms, smallholdings and yards that want a gas-free tool with a continuous heat supply, used by trained, competent operators.
Because it runs from a standard mains socket, there are no gas canisters to buy, carry or refill - useful when working through a batch of youngstock in a fixed handling area. This model is made in France by Agri Health. You can find more farm and yard equipment in our stable and yard equipment collection.

FAQ
Is this dehorner gas or electric?
It is mains electric. It plugs into a standard mains supply, so there are no gas canisters or refills to manage.
What animals is it used on?
It is used for disbudding young livestock such as calves, kids and lambs, where the procedure is legally permitted and carried out correctly.
Do I need training to use a dehorner?
Yes. Disbudding is a regulated procedure and should only be carried out by a competent, trained operator following current legislation and veterinary guidance on age limits and anaesthesia.
Where is the Agri Health Electric Dehorner made?
It is made in France.
How should I look after it?
Allow the tip to cool fully after use, wipe away debris, inspect the cable and plug before each use, and store the unit dry and out of reach of children.
Is a mains dehorner better than a gas one?
A mains model gives continuous heat without refills, which suits fixed handling areas with a power supply. A gas model is more portable where no mains socket is available.
