STUDY ON CASTRTION AND ITS EFFECTS ON BODY WEIGHT IN GOAT

Abstract

The present study was undertaken on castration. A total of 9 buck kids were castrated to evaluate the body weight gain and incidence of age and complications of castration. Castration was done by two methods: One is open method and another is closed method. The buck kids in Group 1 and Group 2 were castrated by open method and Group 3 was castrated by close method. Group 2 was significantly (P<0.01) higher live body weight gain and have no complication. The incidence of age of castration was about 1 month to below 2 months. The study was conducted to know the effects of castration and to compare its two methods with their probable complications. The value of Group 2 was 8.2 kg. The other two groups were 5.58 and 4.56 respectively. The average body weight gain of kids were significant by method of castration. Castration in older kids took significantly (P<0.01) increase body weight gain in open method. Group 2 took significantly (P<0.01) increase body weight than other two groups. The causes of complications may vary considerably from practice to practice and are generally reported to be higher in studies of surgeries performed by the students.
