Abstract:
The clinical efficacy of the use of immunobiological castration was studied in
comparison with boars in which orchidectomy was performed by open method «on a ligature»,
as well as in non-castrated animals. It was found that the disadvantage of surgical castration is the
risk of bleeding, the development of purulent inflammatory process (edges of the surgical wound,
scrotal tissues, stump, common vaginal membrane), as well as intra- and postoperative hernias,
which are accompanied by prolapse of the omentum, intestines, and bladder. The low incidence
of these complications is offset by the high death rate caused by them.
