Abstract
The practice of castration, effecting elimination of the testes and reducing libido or virility, has for centuries been carried out in various ways. The method used has been largely dependent on the species, the opportunity to observe the animal following castration, and the nature of local disease problems. Such diseases as tetanus, black leg, malignant edema, and the presence of the screw worm fly may cause severe problems following castration by methods which result in an open wound or abrasion.
