Castration removes the testosterone producing testicles housed within the scrotum. This surgical procedure is performed in stallions: that will not be used for breeding; to avoid unwanted behaviors; that have retained testicles, testicular trauma or tumors. The surgery can be performed with sedation and regional anesthesia or under a general anesthesia. Gelding often recover uneventfully from this procedure.
