With increasing public interest in farm animal handling practices, dehorning.com has been launched to share science-based information and facilitate discussion about cattle dehorning. The website is sponsored by H. W. Naylor Company Inc.
"Consumers have shown a growing interest in how animals, especially dairy and beef cattle, are raised and cared for," says David Lucas, president, H. W. Naylor Company Inc., who grew up on a dairy farm. "When it comes to dehorning, however, there hasn't been a place on the Internet for accessing credible research, articles and professional recommendations, and having a place to talk about it. That's why we created dehorning.com."
Dehorning.com provides:
* An explanation of the difference between dehorning and disbudding
* Videos, photos and information about various methods
* Access to research articles, which visitors can vote and comment on
* A blog about farm management practices and sciencebased research related to dehorning and early-age disbudding
* Answers to frequently asked questions
Visitors to the site can subscribe to the blog via e-mail and RSS feeds, and become followers on social media sites Facebook and Twitter. The site also invites producers, handlers, food retailers, veterinarians, researchers, academics and others with experience and interest in dehorning to become a guest blogger.
