This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: DRAFT Surgery Of the Scrotum Castration, DISADVANTAGES are 2. The procedure is unreliable when done incorrectly, leads to stags, Closed Castration with Burdizzo (Emasculotome) Castration, WHY ARE MALE ANIMALS CASTRATED? reasons for castrating.... Cats, 2% Lidocaine know Used 5ml per site; ie the spermatic cord and the testicle, Post- Operative Care and Considerations info Adminstration of Pen/Strep every 3 days twice, CALVES (CATTLE) entails Pre- Operative Care and Considerations, Pre- Operative Care and Considerations includes Techniques, Post- Operative Care and Considerations eg Hemorrhage, Post- Operative Care and Considerations info Check for swelling which occurs normally and should reduce in 10 day , signs of infection, tetanus or abnormal gait, DISADVANTAGES are 1.Not bloodless, bleeding is a risk, Pre- Medication Drugs include 2% Lidocaine, Incision Method B Use one incision to remove the bottom third of the scrotum. To do this, first push the testicles up toward the body so the lower third of the scrotum is empty. Grasp the tip of the scrotum between your thumb and forefinger. Use a sharp scalpel to cut across the scrotum just above your thumb and finger. This cut will completely remove the tip of the scrotum and the testicles will fall down or can be pulled down by reaching up into the open scrotum. After making the incision, the remainder of the castration is similar. then 1. Pull the testicle through the incision. It will be covered with a thin, but tough, white membrane. Separate this from the testicle by pulling it away near the tip of the testicle. 2. The remaining tough cord contains the artery, veins and spermatic cord. 3. In older calves, use an emasculator to crush and cut both blood vessels and spermatic cord at the same time. Prior to this, a hemostat is use to hold off the blood vessels and a ligature placed above it. The emaculator is then placed below the hemostat and kept there for 1-3 minutes. An emasculator lessens the risk of bleeding. (The emasculator must be placed on the cord correctly in order to crush the cord properly). 4. In younger calves (ɛ months), it is common to separate the blood vessels from the vas deferens. Shave through the vas with the scalpel. Gently pull the vessels until the strand breaks. Repeat on the other side., DISADVANTAGES are 1. The procedure is slow to perform and requires expertise, DISADVANTAGES are 3. Increased risk of infections because of open wounds, WHY ARE MALE ANIMALS CASTRATED? reasons for castrating.... Horses, CASTRATION of PIGLETS (PIGS), Pre- Medication Drugs include Penicillin/ Streptomycin, Post- Operative Care and Considerations eg Performance may decrease resulting in reduce feed intake and average dialy gain, Pre- Operative Care and Considerations includes Physical Examination, Burdizzo (Emasculotome) Castration DISADVANTAGES
