Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Castration is done at the age of 2 - 4 weeks in goats.Male goats are raised mainly for meat and not for breeding. For this reason males are castrated with an emasculator, or torsion forceps. The best time for castrating bucks is when they are six months old with the Burdizzo instrument. This avoids all risks of infection. Castration improves the flesh of the adult buck. A castrated male is called a wether.
