Abstract

The present research was carried out at the Abai City, Department of Caazapá, with the main objective of determining the healing time between the new preputial ostium and the pexia of the penis to the abdominal wall in teaser bulls. Eight bovine animals, halfbreed, aged 18-24 months, with an average weight of 200 and 300 kg, were studied. The cattle were divided into two groups randomly, undergoing general anesthesia and corresponding surgeries: new preputial ostium and pexia of the penis to the abdominal wall. The results showed that the healing time was lower in the animals submitted to the surgery of the penis pexia to the abdominal wall, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05).
