| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Castration is the most common surgical procedure in animals. Various non-invasive, minimally invasive and invasive methods have been evaluated to castrate the ruminants. Each techniques has its own merits and demerits. Recently, many developments have taken place to simplify the technique and to perform ethical and comparatively less painful procedure. Presently, Burdizzo’s method is widely accepted to castrate the ruminants, which require skill, equipments and considered as painful and inhumane procedure. Therefore, the study was designed to evaluate the minimally invasive Pinhole technique and to compare it with the conventional Burdizzo’s method in bucks and cattle calves. The study included, 12 apparently healthy bucks aged 3-6 months and 12 cattle calves aged 6 months to 1 year divided equally in two groups, subjected to Burdizzo’s (group IA and IIA) and Pinhole castration (group IB and IIB). Clinical observation, evaluation and haematological examination were conducted at precastration period and found clinically normal. Mean rectal temperature, heart rate and respiration rate showed transient changes and remained within normal range after 30 minutes of castration in both the species. Mean haemoglobin, TLC and DLC were also within the normal range at different time intervals. Significant increase (p˂0.05) in TLC at 7th post castration day was observed in both the species, while significant increase (p˂0.05) in monocytes was depicted in calves on 30th day. There was significant decrease (p˂0.05) in scrotal circumference on 30th day after castration. The mean testicular volume reduced to 37.04% and 39.01% in bucks and 44.56% and 42.18% in calves castrated by Burdizzo and Pinhole methods respectively. Ultrasonographically, precastration echotexture of testicle was homogenous, granular, with a thin hyperechoic capsule and linear hyperechoic mediastinum testis. On 30th day after castration, testicular atrophy, less echogenic parenchyma with microliths were depicted in both the species, but pronounced in Pinhole castrated animals. On 30th day, histological study revealed atrophy of seminiferous tubules with desquamation and obliteration of the lumen by cell debris. There was no evidence of any viable cell. However, in Pinhole castrated testicle, vacuolations at the basal part of the seminiferous tubules with more intertubular collagen bundles were observed in both the species. Complications recorded were unilateral failure of castration in one buck castrated by Burdizzo’s method, while in other buck castrated by Pinhole technique, the ultrasonogram showed unilateral hydrocele with degenerative changes in testicular parenchyma. On the basis of physical measurements, ultrasonographic and histological findings, it can be concluded that the Pinhole technique was more satisfactory and superior in both the species. | en_US |
