Advantages of castration
- Prevent unnecessary breeding/ mating
- Easy handling
- Meat quality
Common methods of castration
Use of burdizzo pincher
Surgical(single or double slit)
Use of elastractor band
Caponization is done during what age
2-4 weeks in poultry
Removal of horns in cattle, goat and sheep
Dehorning
Advantages of dehorning
Requires space in feedlots, transit/shipment
More uniform in appearance
Prevent injuries to other animals, human handlers
Facilities handling and management
What are the 5 methods of dehorning?
Debudding/ disbudding
Dehorning iron
Surgical
Generics/ breeding
Dehorning spoon and dehorning tube
Age of dehorning
2 months
It is the cutting to reduce excessive growth of hooves in sheep and goat prevent malformation of toes
Hoof trimming
Used for hoof trimming

Bleaching
Most rapidly bleached, by the time the first egg is laid
Vent
Eye-ring 1-2 eggs
Earlobes 9-10
One of the environmental factors, which greatly affect the production
Temperature
Management of heat stress
Cooling system
Modification through feed and water supply
Housing design and materials
Management of cold stress
Supplying supplement heat, high energy content
Reduce heat loss
Use of insulators
Give air pollutant in animal housing
Dust and other aerosols
Ammonia
Hydrogen Sulfide
