[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 900342, member: 8265"] Are you saying you are concerned about your horses gettin tetanus from castrated cattle? The tetanus organism is a natural inhabitant of the soil. More so in warmer climates. It enters an animal through a wound like a puncture which cannot get oxygen. In that environment, it produces a toxin that is what causes tetanus. There are no organisms expelled from the animal. So, again, the soil is the original source. Castrating or not won't affect the chance of horses getting tetanus. [/QUOTE]
