Dr. Cia Johnson, of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Animal Welfare Division, introduces the association’s policy that encourages pain control for cattle during dehorning. Dehorning is a common practice on dairies and ranches. The AVMA’s policy strives to make this necessary procedure, which protects the cattle and farmers, tolerable and practicable. For more information on the dehorning and disbudding of cattle, see our backgrounder at www.avma.org
