Burdizzo - don't try this at home.

[Kangan (imported)]

For some time now, I have been doing considerable research on castration methods on this archive, the Web, and in the real world. Since I live in a rural area, I have easy access to animal castration information and supplies. The local retail stores are Tractor Supply Co. (TSC) and Rural King (RK).

The Burdizzo castrator does not appear to be a stock item at these stores. Don't be mislead by a similar device used for fastening ID tags to cow's ears!

I did find Burdizzo devices for sale on the Web. Just Google "Burdizzo."

However at TSC and RK, I did find many books and pamphlets on animal husbandry that include castration information. From what I have read, the Burdizzo is somewhat out of favor versus the use of a bander, but both are mentioned as ways to castrate farm animals such as sheep and cattle.

As for the use of a Burdizzo on a human, I will recommend against it's use due to the damage to tissue and the resulting danger of infection. However, if you are determined to use such a device, then the size suitable for sheep would be a good choice. Basic instructions given in the various books that I read, all recommend a Tetanus booster shot be given. Since a barnyard is not a sterile environment, that sounds like a wise precaution.

Each testicle is to be done separately. They do not recommend trying to do both at the same time as it will increase the risk of infection due to extreme scrotal damage. Pull the testicle away from the body and make sure that you can locate the cords. Then apply the Burdizzo and clamp the entire cord firmly in the jaws. After 45 to 60 seconds, release the instrument and repeat on the the other testicle. The testicles will wither and fall off after about 2 or 3 weeks.

All this sounds very simple, but here's the rub.... The books say that the animal will be stunned for a few minutes, but eventually will get up and run off as if nothing ever happened! I doubt that this would happen with a human. Be prepared for a LOT of pain. Also, your damaged testicles and scrotum will not be a pleasant sight. You should be prepared for a very embarrassing and expensive trip to the Emergency Room at some point to have things trimmed and sewn up properly.

Don't try this at home.

In humans it does not "fall off " and it takes longer than 2-3 weeks. Initially they wil swell up quite large,also 45-60 is not enough time. sadly I know these things the hard way.

My point exactly. Don't try this at home!

One thing I forgot to mention is that you need to shave off all the hair on the scrotum first.

I wish there was a better way.... (sigh)

Actually you can do it at home,just be prepared ,,and have correct information and emergeny plans in place,, also be aware there is a great deal of pain involved.

If you plan to use a burdizzo get your hands on elma cream or lidocaine.Why suffer all that pain.The anethetic lets you get very close to closed then all that is left is locking the handles.I have done it both ways.Numbed up is easy.The only way otherwise is have someone not feeling the pain do it.That wont make you feel less pain it will be over faster.The time it was done without pain killer the I was in pain for about 2 minutes.The person running the burdizzo knew what to do and did it properly.Seperated out the cords had me hold them set the burdizzo and clamped.Left it locked for 2 minutes.The pain increases as the burdizzo closes and the major pain went away with the crunching sound the burdizzo made.I did not have much more than an acke after that which was easilt tolerable.Dont clamp twice it is a waist of time and from everything I have heard hurts more than the first time.Also stay on the scrotum do not clamp into the thick skin above.If your scrotum is so short as to not give the room to properly use the burdizzo forget it.Expect some failures if an amatuer does it.

I was clamped 3 differant times to do in my 2 testicles.We did them one at a time over a year and a half.Also changed from a chifa burdizzo which i consider a piece of junk to a stainless steel wimco.

All very interesting, but if you want to castrate yourself using the Burdizzio, well just forget it, because you cannot! It does not work on humans unfortunately.

Wow! Very interesting site. A must for anyone contemplating using a Burdizzo.

I must say my negative opinion of a Burdizzo has changed to a more positive view after reading and viewing that web site. (No, I don't want to try a Burdizzo - I'd rather have surgery.)

The description of his 2001 meeting with a cutter (cruncher would be a better term) was very interesting reading. The handcuffs were a surprise, but then I suppose they could be necessary for the cutter's protection.

I hope this site stays up - it is very informative to say the least.

To my knowlege using a Burdizzo is only effective about one time out of 10 or more attempts. And always painful. --FLO--
