Equine Castration: The Ins and Outs of a Common Procedure for a Happier, Healthier Horse
At Kokinos Veterinary Services, we understand that every horse is unique and has individualized healthcare requirements. We offer a wide range of services, including castrations, to help your horse achieve optimal health and well-being.
What to Expect During Castration
Castration is a common surgical procedure performed on male horses to remove their testicles. This procedure is typically done to prevent unwanted breeding behavior and to decrease the risk of certain health conditions, such as testicular cancer. During the castration process, our experienced veterinarians will administer sedation and anesthesia to ensure your horse's comfort and safety. The procedure itself is relatively quick, and your horse will be closely monitored throughout the entire process.
How Castration Can Be Beneficial
Castrations can be highly beneficial for both your horse and their caretakers. Geldings (castrated male horses) tend to be more docile and easier to handle, making them safer and more enjoyable to work with. Additionally, castrated horses may have a reduced risk of certain health conditions, such as prostate problems and certain types of cancer.
