Question

proper way of maintaining a castration rack?​

Answer 1

Answer: It is common on farms in the Pacific to have a number of young and mature bulls running with young and mature females. This uncontrolled breeding will prevent improvement in milking quality and breeding efficiency. The safest way to achieve control of breeding is for all male calves that you don't want for breeding to be castrated before they get to mating age. For ease and safety of castration, the younger a bull calf is castrated, the better. Therefore castration is done for the following reasons:

· inferior quality animals are prevented from breeding,

· inbreeding is prevented,

· castrated males are more easy to handle than uncastrated males,

· beef from castrated males is preferable to meat from bulls.
