VAZQUEZ GIL, Ángel et al. Preparation of Teaser Bulls through Surgically-Made Preputial Foramen. Rev. prod. anim. [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.2, pp. 39-43. ISSN 2224-7920.

To describe this surgical technique (opening of an artificial ventral preputial orifice) for teaser bull preparation, 50 Holstein x Zebu animals were chosen. The study was made at Triángulo 5 and Triangulo 3 cattle companies, and on El Taburete Farm in the province of Camaguey, Cuba. Healing and recovery, surgery time, and costs of medication and surgical material were evaluated. Exploratory examination was made ten months after the procedure to verify the general state of the animal and the success of surgery. This technique has proved its simplicity, cost effectiveness, and celerity, both in execution and animal recovery. The surgically-made ventral preputial orifice is recommended to cut down the production costs of cattle raising. It could also be used in other species of interest like ovine-caprine
