Product Name
Leister 107.007 De-horning nozzle (ø 1.45 inch) Nozzle
Brief Description
A specialized accessory for Leister hot-air guns, designed for the thermal dehorning (disbudding) of young livestock, primarily calves. It provides a concentrated heat application to prevent horn growth.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Disbudding/dehorning of young calves.- Preventing horn growth in other young livestock (e.g., goats, sheep) where applicable.- Used in conjunction with Leister hot-air pistols (e.g., Ghibli, Solano AT).
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Equine (broadly, livestock farming/animal husbandry)
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for dehorning applications.- Clamping connection for secure attachment to compatible Leister heat guns.- Precise dimensions (e.g., ø 36.5 mm / 1.45 in nozzle connection, 20 mm pipe diameter, 58 mm pipe length) for targeted heat application.- Part of the extensive Leister accessory range for hot-air tools.
Key Properties
- Material: Durable metal, resistant to high temperatures.- Nozzle Connection Ø: 36.5 mm / 1.45 inches.- Pipe Diameter: 20 mm / 0.78 inches.- Pipe Length: 58 mm / 2.28 inches.- Angle: 0° (straight).- Connection Type: Clamping connection.- Function: Directs hot air for cauterization.

Comparison Note
- This nozzle, when used with a Leister hot-air gun, offers a thermal method of dehorning, which is considered a bloodless method for young calves. It is an alternative to chemical pastes or physical cutting tools, often preferred for minimizing pain and recovery complications when performed at an early age.
