Burdizzois a castration method that uses a large clamp to crush the blood vessels leading into the testicles. Pictured above is the 9" Burdizzo used mainly on goats and some small calves. This size has also been used for some humans seeking seld castration for various reasons, from a high sex drive remedy to those who seek religious or personal reasons to become a eunich. It has also been used by those who have started transition from male to female in transgender cases in lew of the surgucal method known as an Ochidectomy. Since no incision is made, the method is bloodless and has a lower risk of infection compared with traditional castration. It is primarily used on farm animals. The pampered cows used for Kobe beef are castrated with this method since the low risk of infection is a priority. Image File history File links Burdizo_9in. ...
