About castration only.
OK, I will try it again.
And please, this is not a discussion on cutting vs banding, it is about the below procedures.
Does anyone do it differently?
Particularly steps 2 & 3 for both procedures?
SL
Surgical removal (knife)
Surgical removal is the most common method of
castration. An experienced operator can complete
castration using this method quickly and effectively,
with a minimum of stress to the calf and operator.
This method of castration leaves an open wound and
therefore requires wound healing.
Step 1 The testicles are pushed into the bottom of
the scrotum.
Step 2 An incision is made from the base of the
scrotum up the side (approximately 2.5 cm).
The opening must be large enough to ensure
good drainage.
Step 3 The testicle is pushed through the opening
and the connective tissue is removed from
around the testicle.
Step 4 The exposed spermatic cord is then severed
with a scraping motion (allowing quicker
blood clotting and therefore reducing blood
loss) high above the testicle.
Step 5 The operation is repeated for the other
testicle.
An alternative to this is:
Step 1 The base of the scrotum is grasped between
the thumb and forefinger of one hand, and
the bottom quarter of the scrotum is
removed using a sharp knife or scalpel blade.
Step 2 The testicles are exposed and freed of their
connective tissue.
Step 3 The exposed spermatic cord is severed (with
a scraping motion) high above the testicle. If
emasculators are to be used, the cutting
blade must be closest to the testicle being
removed.
Step 4 The operation is repeated on the other side.
