Castration is the process of making a male animal incapable of reproduction by removing or inactivating the testes. It is one of the common management practices followed in livestock farming to improve animal handling, prevent indiscriminate breeding, and enhance meat quality.

Disposal and utilization of carcasses refer to the safe handling, destruction, or processing of dead animal bodies to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and environmental contamination.

Disinfection in livestock farms is an important biosecurity measure used to destroy pathogenic microorganisms and prevent the spread of infectious diseases among animals. Proper disinfection helps maintain farm hygiene, improves animal health, and reduces economic losses in livestock production.
