A Review of Chemical Castration in Domestic Animals

Abstract

This review article discusses the use of numerous chemical agents supplied through various routes to regulate the population of several animal species, including dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, rams, and rats. While surgery is the safest and most effective procedure, it is also the most expensive. Therefore, non-surgical sterilization methods that would make male sterilization cheap, simple, and quick for sterilizing a large number of male animals in a short amount of time were introduced in an effort to slow down the increase in the animal population effectively.
