The document discusses horn anatomy and affections in cattle. It notes that horns are formed by the frontal bones and become hollow. The base is thin and the horn thickens towards the apex. Blood and nerve supply are described. Major horn affections include avulsion, fracture, and horn cancer. Treatment for fractures may include amputation. Dehorning involves removing the horn at the base through elliptical incision and sawing. Disbudding young calves removes small horn buds using a caustic compound or hot iron. Procedures are done with local anesthesia and analgesia.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Affection of horn
Dr. Bikash Puri

Nepal Polytechnic Institute, Chitwan
1Dr. Bikash Puri
2. Anatomical Considerations
• The horns are formed by the cornual processes of the frontal bones.
The cornual processes are the osseous structures continuous with the
bone of skull. And accordingly with maturity of animal, they become
hollow to form a portion of frontal sinus.
• The entire portion of frontal sinus is lined by mucous membrane
• The corium of horn is united to the cornual process by periosteum
which is traversed by numerous blood vessels. This cornual process is
properly covered by the horn.
• The horn’s base is thin and is continued with epidermis. The horn
becomes thicken as it proceeds the apex, where it becomes solid.
2Dr. Bikash Puri
4. Blood supply:
– Cornual branch of superficial temporal artery and
corresponding veins.
• Nerve supply:
– Cornual nerve supplies the horn. This is a branch of
lachrymal; which is branch of ophthalmic, which is
further branch of trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve.
4Dr. Bikash Puri
5. Major Horn Affections
1. Avulsions/evulsion
• This condition is the separation of the horny covering from
the bony core due to direct trauma.
• Initially, there is diffuse bleeding which is checked
sponataneously .
• This condition should not require any specific treatment.
• The fly repellent should be applied topically to prevent
form maggot infestation
5Dr. Bikash Puri
6. Major Horn Affections
2. Fracture
• The horns usually gets fractured as a result of direct trauma
which is due to fighting or an accident.
• The frontal bone may also involved.
• Fractured of horn caused haemorrhage into frontal sinus
and bleeding from the nostrils which is further
complicated with purulent sinus and empyema of sinus.
• In fractures that are difficult to immobilize, amputation of
the horn proximal to fracture site is considered.
6Dr. Bikash Puri
7. Major Horn Affections
3. Horn cancer
• Very common condition
• Symptoms:
– The horn becomes shaky and fall off later
– A foul smelling purulent discharge is noticed form nostrils
– Typical cauliflower like growth is evidenced, when horn fall off or
it is amputated.
• Treatment:
– No satisfactory treatment.
7Dr. Bikash Puri
9. Control and anesthesia
– Deep sedation or tranquilization, in recumbent position with the
affected horn upright
– Cornual nerve block
– Infiltrate local anesthetic at the site of incision.
9Dr. Bikash Puri
11. Surgical technique:
– Give elliptical incision around the base of the horn. The incision should
be 0.5 cm from the horn skin junction.
– The cornual vessels are located in the temporal fossa by blunt
dissection and ligated
– The skin flap should be ascertained by separating underlying tissues
– the periostum of frontal bone is exposed.
– Horn should be removed from the base with the help of saw or
embryotomy wire leaving the skin flap. Haemorrhage if any should be
ligated
– The extra bone should be trimmed and both edges of the skin flaps
are brought together and sutured by interrupted or mattress suture.
11Dr. Bikash Puri
12. Disbudding
• It involves the removal of the horn buds.
• The ideal age for disbudding is 1-2 weeks old, when the horn buds project 5-10 mm,, are
easily palpable, haemorrhage is nil and a disbudding iron can be used alone.
• In this age of animal, the horn may be disbudded by application of a local caustic
compound (NaoH, KOH, etc)
• Indication:
• Improve stock management
• To enhance the physical appearance
• To prevent potential aggressive behavior towards other members of herd
• to reduce traumatic damage to other individuals, especially udder and skin injury.
12Dr. Bikash Puri
13. Procedure
• Analgesia:
– Achieved by cornual nerve block
• Technique:
– Hairs around the base of buds are clipped and site should be prepared aseptically.
– Vaseline should be applied all around the base of the horn bud and eye should be
covered with clean cloth
– On the horn bud a potassium or sodium hydroxide stick is applied wit firm pressure
in a circular fashion till oozing of blood occurs.
– Or Horn bud is removed with the help of sharp knife along with 0.25 cm wide piece
of skin with the base of button. The hemorrhage should be checked by digital
pressure.
– Or Debudding with a hot iron or electrically operated debudder should be applied.
The horn bud and its surrounding tissue should be burnt in circular fashion .
However, too much pressure should be avoided.
