Over the decades Express Farming has been designing and providing dehorners to cattle and goat breedersand has developed unique expertise. Today, the brand is distributed in more than 54 countries with a large network of distributors, which brings it as close as possible to the breeders to provide their products and after-sales service.
The evolution of the Express Farming dehorner
Express Farming devotes 5 % of its budget to research and innovation. The dehorning of animals is a delicate operation which must be carried out with respect for animal welfare and taking into account the safety of the farmer. This is an unavoidable step that should be carried out with the appropriate tools.
Farming Express is a specialist in the design of gas dehorners. It allows dehorning to be carried out from the first days of the animal’s life to avoid unnecessary suffering. This implies that at certain times, for large farms, a productive and lasting dehorner is required which can handle several dozen operations per day.
The dehorner should not be too heavy, it should be usable in any place – in the stable or in the field – in all positions and in any weather conditions, including wet conditions.
To help you work in the best conditions, Express Farming provides breeders with complementary products, such as restraint cages, kid racks and animal clippers.
Whatever your tool, you will find spare parts and accessories at your nearest dealer or for some accessories at the Express Farming Online Shop.

Express Farming provides three models of gas dehorners. They have in common that they work in all weather, even wet conditions and in all positions. When equipped with a Piezo ignition it can be changed without tools, in a matter of seconds, through access to the injector by removing the trigger.
