Other dehorners heat the burning tip, sometimes with a gas bottle or electric connection. The burning tip is then pressed into the skin around the horn bud, cutting off the blood supply to the horn bud. What remains is an open circular wound that needs good treatment and a longer time to heal. There is a greater risk of wound healing problems and improper use.
Conversions of hot air dryers with burning tips are known from practice. However, these conversions are not permitted for use on animals (high voltage on the animal) and are also more expensive than the AirBuddex™.
When it comes to materials, the manufacturer Kerbl relies on its many years of good experience with dehorners. The stainless steel design guarantees durability and robustness. The existing gas cartridges from the sister product GasBuddex™ are also used in the AirBuddex™.
