“…Both sections of the vasa deferentia should be preserved in formal saline, with the pot labelled with the animal's ear tag number, the farm name, and the date, and these should be kept for at least three years, in case of future concerns over a vasectomised male proving to be fertile (Scott 2007a, b). If there is concern at the time of surgery about the correct tissue having been removed, it is sometimes possible in mature animals to squeeze sperm out of the vas onto a slide to be examined microscopically, or the removed sections can be sent off for histology (Tibary and Van Metre 2004).…”

“…Opinions vary as to how long the interval between the operation and use as a teaser should be. Some advocate at least six weeks (as spermatozoa can remain viable in the upper reaches of the vasa and in the ampullae for some time) (Smith and Sherman 2009), whereas others suggest only two weeks (Janett and others 2001), and some one week (Boundy and Cox 1996), or five days (Scott 2007a). Total azoospermia is not present even five months after vasectomy, but no viable spermatozoa are present (Janett and others 2001).…”

Background: Male livestock rendered sterile through vasectomy or epididymectomy, but still hormonally and behaviourally sexually active, have many uses. In small ruminants they can be used to advance the breeding season and puberty, synchronise and detect oestrus and improve conception rates to artificial insemination. In pigs, they can be used to hasten first oestrus in gilts and detect oestrus in sows. In cattle, they can be used to aid heat detection for artificial insemination.Aim of the article: This article outlines the surgical techniques used to produce such ‘teaser’ animals and discusses how they can be best used, as well as the alternatives to their use.

Neonatal lambs are frequently presented for minor surgical interventions (entropion and atresia ani correction) and for treatment of broken limbs. Providing the fracture is closed, simple, and adequate stabilisation is possible then the prognosis for these is good. More rarely they may be presented for the treatment of other traumatic injuries. Any surgery should be performed with an appropriate level of anaesthesia, and anaesthetic techniques applicable to neonatal lambs are reviewed. When performing anaesthesia on neonatal lambs their reduced metabolic capacity, low bodyweight and susceptibility to hypothermia should all be considered.
