- An audible signal of 3 short beeps and the indicator light (Item 6)indicates that the cycle has started.

Important points:
- Dehorn in the first days of life of the animals (in the first week of life for kids, between 8 and 15 days for calves).
- Dehorn as soon as we can notice the bud of the horn.
- Use a cage to firmly immobilize the head of the animal.
- A circular burn from 4 to 5 mm allows to guarantee that the horn will not grow again.
- Do not try to remove the horn.
- Check that the Spray penetrates at the bottom of the wound.
Why to shear:
- To visualize the horn bud.
- To decrease the risks of infections.
- To check the quality of the cauterization.
Why to DISINFECT:
- Cool the wound.
- Prevent infection.
