Disbudding Goat Kids

We provide a goat kid disbudding service which ensures horn buds are removed at the correct time without pain or discomfort to kids. Kids are instantly standing, feeding and being kids.

Disbudding is a surgical procedure all kids are administered topical and injectable anaesthetic, injectable long acting pain relief and anti inflammatory medications, first vaccination is also required prior to the procedure which we can administer as part of the preparation.

Disbudding should occur before 3 weeks of age, the exact time varies slightly between breeds please contact us to discuss your needs.

It is a legal requirement as per Animal Welfare (Care and Procedures) Regulations 2020 for any technician performing disbudding to be trained and certified and for the animals to receive the correctly administered restricted medications.
Failure to do so can result in prosecution and fines.

This service can be offered at your property (within our service area) or at our farm just outside of Silverdale on the Auckland North Shore.
