The 14-inch Burdizzo Castrator, also known as a Burdizzo emasculatome, is a heavy-duty veterinary instrument designed for the bloodless castration of larger livestock. It works by crushing the spermatic cords without cutting the skin, stopping the blood supply to the testicles while leaving the scrotum intact. This method helps reduce the risk of bleeding and infection when performed correctly.

Key Features

Heavy-duty stainless steel construction for long-lasting durability.
14-inch (36 cm) length provides greater leverage for larger animals.
Precision-machined crushing jaws for consistent performance.
Ergonomic handles for improved grip and control.
Corrosion-resistant and easy to clean and sterilize.
Designed for repeated professional and farm use.

Applications

The 14″ Burdizzo is commonly used for:

Bulls and larger calves
Mature sheep and goats (where appropriate)
Other medium to large livestock

Ideal for:

Commercial livestock farmers
Veterinarians
Animal health technicians
Breeding and ranch operations

Benefits

Bloodless castration with no skin incision.
Minimizes the risk of external bleeding and wound infection.
Reusable, durable, and economical over the long term.
No disposable bands or blades required.
Suitable for routine herd management when used by trained personnel.

How It Works

The Burdizzo is applied to one spermatic cord at a time, crushing the cord for the recommended duration before repeating the procedure on the opposite side at a different position. This preserves blood flow to the scrotal skin while interrupting the blood supply to each testicle, which then gradually atrophies. Correct technique and tool condition are essential for reliable results.

Why Choose a 14″ Burdizzo?

The 14-inch model offers increased leverage compared with smaller versions, making it well suited for larger animals with thicker spermatic cords. It is a popular choice for professional veterinarians and commercial livestock producers who require a robust, reliable instrument capable of frequent use. Burdizzo instruments are available in multiple sizes—including 9″, 12″, 14″, 16″, and 19″—to suit different animal sizes.
