Why castrating an animal?

• To stop the production of androgens and semen.
• It is more beneficial for you to manage your cattle after castration as it reduces aggressiveness.

• To prevent heredity or transfer of undesirable traits.
• To reduce promiscuous mating among animals.
• For birth control.

How do you castrate?

• Choose and use the appropriate size of castrators according to the size of the animal.
• Locate the spermatic cord. It enters the animal’s body from the testicles. It is about the size of a pencil and easily moves from one side to the other on palpation.
• Correctly position the castrator for crushing. Crush with the castrator for about 5 minutes.
• Release the castrator, move it to a new site 1 to 2cm below the first site, and repeat the same operation.
• Note that the non-crushed space maintains the irrigation and prevents from gangrene.
• Execute these operations on the testicular (or spermatic) cord of the second testis.

Precautions

• Never try to crush simultaneously both testicular cords. This may be ineffective and may damage the castrator.
• Check the animals after four to six weeks to ensure testicular atrophy.
• Castration should be done under the supervision of experienced operators.
• Please immobilize the animals before using this tool on them.
