Manual wire dehorning works, but it’s demanding.
Manual wire
Physically demanding
Repetitive strain
Technique dependent
Time intensive
Operator fatigue
Variable workflow
Soletech Dehorner
Reduced effort
Lower strain
More control
Faster
Less fatigue
More consistent workflow
A better way
The Soletech Dehorner makes dehorning faster, easier, and more efficient.
Same procedure, improved method.
This is what easier dehorning looks like.
Once you’ve used it, it’s hard to go back.
Why change now?
Manual wire dehorning is a proven and widely used technique.
However, as veterinary practice evolves, there is increasing focus on reducing physical strain and improving consistency across operators and procedures.
The Soletech Dehorner is designed to support that shift by improving how the procedure is performed, without changing the procedure itself.
It’s a practical improvement to a familiar process.
Already used in real-world practice
Designed by veterinarians.
Used across NZ & Australia.
Proven in field conditions.
Trusted by production animal vets.
What veterinarians are saying
"Hands down the easiest dehorning I’ve ever done in my life"

How it works
Attach the Dehorner to a drill
Load the dehorning wire
Engage the drill and guide with steady, controlled movement
Faster, more controlled dehorning
Common questions
Is it difficult to learn?
No, the tool is simple and intuitive to use, with most vets comfortable after their first use.
Is it safe?
Yes, the cutting motion and focused cautery allow for a clean, controlled procedure.
Is it worth the investment?
Yes, faster procedures and reduced physical strain make it a practical addition to any large animal practice.
