Castration and vasectomy in bulls

     For castration, the bull is cast on lateral recumbency, and with help of a large burdizo castrator, the spermatic cords are crushed one by one.
    VAsectomy is done to prepare the teaser bulls. Local anesthesia is applied to the spermatic cord and on the subcutaneous tissue at the side of the scrotal incision. A single midscrotal incision is made and a 2-3 inches piece of ductus deference is removed bilaterally, this will interrupt the flow of sperms.

Sugar •        Sugar has been described both in history and recently as a topical wound treatment. •        The basis for its use is its high osmolality. •        Thus, it is effective in reducing edema due to its hydrophilic action. •        It has also been reported to attract macrophages, accelerate slough of devitalized tissue, provide cellular energy, and promote granulation tissue. •        Its use should be discontinued after the wound has a good bed of granulation tissue. •        It has been reported to be effective against Staph., Strep., Enterobacter, E. coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, and Serratia organisms. •          It reportedly does not cause hyperglycemia. •        It should be used with caution on large wounds. Its hydrophilic action can pull more fluids, electrolytes, and proteins from the wound tissues.
