I think its a form of castration to control birth rate?
Castration in Angora goats is performed to improve herd management and benefit life-time welfare of the goat and should be carried out before or up to 8 weeks of age. With the Burdizzo method up to 12 weeks. The kids must be protected against Tetanus.
What is the Burdizzo method?
The Burdizzo is used to crush both spermatic cords, thus stopping blood flow to the testicles, which are then reabsorbed by the body. The Burdizzo method has been known to have a high failure rate. Failure to castrate using the Burdizzo method is usually due to improper technique or improper care of the clamp.
Still don't u want your goats to have babies? = more wealth right? WTF?
