Short chims are apphed to the cord, and the himen of the arteries is completely obhte- rated in five to six days, when the clams can be removed. Instead of an in- cision being made for the removal of each testicle, the scrotum and dartos may be divided in the middle line, after which incisions may be made to the right and left respectively, exposing the fibrous tissue and enabling the testicles to be enucleated. A clam may then be applied to each cord, or the two cords may be in- cluded in one pair of clams. This method has the advantage of inflicting less injury on the scrotum, a point which is of some importance in animals destined for slaughter. Castration by the Covered Method.—This operation is identical with the preceding, except that the incision of the scrotum does not involve the cremaster and fibrous tunic, or the tunica vaginalis Fig. 315.—Crushing the testicular cord. (This uiethod is to be strongly condennied.) CASTRATION BY TORSION. The cord may be twisted throughout its entire length or torsion may be limited to a part of the cord, hence the two methods here- after described. (a) Limited Torsion.—The testicles are exposed as in castration by the open method. The cord is then drawn forward and fixed by.
