Dehorning Welfare

Dehorning Welfare is a livestock welfare construct that specifically evaluates the physiological and behavioral impacts of horn removal practices on animal well-being, distinguishing it from broader management or production-focused metrics by centering on the ethical, painful, and stress-related consequences associated with dehorning procedures in ruminant farming systems.
