After Care and Treatmeut—The animal should be confined foreight or nine days in a small, clean pen; during this period the Animal Castration 115 diet should be limited,moving the sutures. Nature will ordinarily take care of re- CASTRATION OF THE RUPTURED BOAR. Scrotal hernia (rupture) in the boar occurs invariably anddirectly as a result of dilation or enlargement of the internalabdominal ring. The anatomical function of the internal al)dom-.

They are of congenital internal abdominal ring being open at time of birth andnature fails to close it afterwards. In my own practice I recallone sow in partticular which presented her owner with a bunchof ruptured pigs twice each year. This sow gave birth to largelitters and was kept as a brood sow on that account. These litterswere usually about equally divided between boar and sow the three
