Chemical castration with silver nitrate and potassium permanganate of local male bucks

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of castration using two different drugs The study was carried out 12 local Iraqi male goats adult of 13-15 month Intratesticular injection of chemical was done for inducing castration in the male goat. The animals were divided into three groups consisting of 4 animals in each group, in which in Treatment G1 the goat were castrated chemically using 1% AgNO3 and for the other group Treatment G2 were castrated using 0.25 g KMnO4 dissolving in 50 ml. Statistical analysis revealed that there was significant difference (P>0.01) difference between the two groups G2 and G2 respectivelly in testicular measurement, the testosterone concentration and histopathologically revealed sever depletion of germ cell in seminiferous tubules and empty from any sperm. Numerical observation for both of the findings reveals that there was a different between the two treatment groups. From the present finding it may be concluded that castration using KMnO4 may be the best option for castration of the goat. The present study achieved in the farm beside vet hospital in Aldewaneyia city during the period extended from November 2021 to January 2022.
