Dehorning is a term commonly used by farmers and ranchers to refer to the process of removing horns from cattle, goats, and other animals. However, there are several other terms that can be used as synonyms for dehorning. Some of the commonly used ones include disbudding, which involves removing the buds before the horns develop, cauterization, which involves burning the horn buds, and amputation, which involves cutting off the horns entirely. Other less common synonyms for dehorning include tipping and rasping, although these are not widely used in the agricultural community. Regardless of the term used, dehorning is typically done for safety reasons and to prevent animals from injuring each other or their handlers.
