Abstract

Guinea Pigs (cavia porcellus) are belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. The Boars are very difficult to maintain in groups without fighting and grave physically damage, and neuter was used as a way of minimizing this violent behavior [1]. The method described in this paper is simpler, Guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) was handled softly and with concern to injury to the pet and the surgeon appropriately following hygiene as recommended by Mcgreevy [2]. Mainly boars get sexual maturity by 4-6 weeks of age and are capable of impregnating the sows [3]. Castration has been performed by open closed technique using tip of scrotal incision under general anesthesia [4].
