Under conditions of dairy complexes in RF and Belarus Republic some experimental studies were performed in using disk cutters (DC) for angle grinders Bolgarka (AG) for clipping and cleaning dew claws in animals. A specification is given and testing was performed for the resistance of DC to disinfectants: Original (abrasive direct ones 115 mm x 22.23 mm in diameter), Klassika (12 cutting members – 125mm x 22.23 mm) and Profi+ (aluminum having 4 double-sided cutting hard-face members - 125 mm x 22.23 mm). Prophylactic clipping and cleaning dew claws was done in 2140 heads, correction and treatment - in 2260 heads. Abrasive DC were used on Bolgarka angle grinders with a capacity of 670 and 1100 w at rate of revolution of 6000-8000 rev/min. For correction of dew claws and in case of need to cut a great portion of horn DC with cutting members having a capacity of 1200 and 1400 w at revolution rate of DC 10000 to 12000 rev/min. as is found, abrasive DC are most effective for preventive treatment of dew claws, for cleaning a dew claw groove and preparing a dew claw for gluing a heelplate or bootikin. DC Klassika and Profi+ can be used both for prophylactic treatment and for the first stage of dew claw correction.
