Animal Castration 



Age— Same as castration of the stallion. (See page 14.) 



Season — Spring and fall. 



Preparation— Same as castration of the stallion. (See page 14.) 



Restraint — Same as castration of the "ridgling." (See page 

 54.) 



Anatomy — The general anatomy of the parts is, of course, the 

 same as that of the stallion. (See pages 19-21.) However, the 

 testicles in this class of animals are indefinitely located. There is 

 no hard and fast rule with reference to their location which would 

 be a definite guide in finding them. They are usually outside the 

 abdominal cavity. Most frequently in the inguinal canal, but in 



Pig. 51 — Hermaphrodite Horse.
