132 ANIMAL CASTRATION 



After-care consists in the restriction of violent exer- 

 cise in adult horses and avoidance of large qnantites 

 of bulky food. Subjects are allowed the freedom of 

 pasture and are turned out and allowed to exercise at 

 will. Where they are kept away from the stables 

 and lots, no after-care is required. In the spring and 

 summer months, where this work can be done away 

 from contaminated stables and sheds, there is practi- 

 cally no danger from infection if care is taken to exe- 

 cute a reasonably good surgical technie.
