Castration Method for One

Person Using a Surgical Knife
1.
Hold the piglet by both hind legs with its

head down.
2. Using the thumb, push up on both testicles.
3. Make an incision through the skin of the
scrotum over each testicle in the direction of
the tail.
4. Be sure the incisions are made low on the
scrotal sac to allow for fluid drainage.
5. It does not matter if you cut through the
white membrane of each testicle or not.
6.
Pop the testicles through each incision and

pull on them slightly.
7.
Pull each testicle out while pressing your
thumb against the piglets pelvis.
8.
Thumb pressure on the pelvis is important to
ensure that the testicular cords break off at the
point of your thumb
rather than deep inside the body, which may
promote development of a hernia.
9.
If necessary the testicle may be cut free of
the cord using a scraping motion.
10.
Cut away any cord or connective tissue
protruding from the incision and spray the wound
with antiseptic.
