<b>Cautery disbudding in calves: A comparative assessment of topical wound treatments</b>
Topical application of an aluminum aerosol bandage significantly reduced wound size and improved lesion scores in calves by D28 and D35 post-disbudding. These results suggest that a non-antibiotic aluminum topical spray offers an effective, welfare-supporting alternative when compared to antibiotic wound treatments.
