42 Animal Castration 



The next step is to grasp the left testicle (18, Fig. 27) with 

 the left hand (17) and draw testicle upwards — at direct right 

 angles to the animal — at the same time producing from one to 

 two pounds traction on the cord. With the right hand (23) apply 

 the emasculator (22) to the cord (19) and force instrument well 

 down against the scrotum (21) in such a maimer as to sever 

 the spermatic cord and all of its coverings as close to the skin 

 incision as possible. The right testicle is removed in like manner 

 and the animal released. By reference to Fig. 16, page 24. the 

 reader may observe the exact position of the emasculator on the 

 cord and what structures are severed in operating.
