Castration of gobies at the age of 30±8 days by the method of elastration, during puberty at 180±12,183±15 days age by blood and bloodless (Burditso forceps) methods when keeping animals in the feeding area showed that on the first day after castration in all animals there is depression, swelling in the scrotum, these
changes disappear for 3-4 days.After castration complications occurred with the blood castration method in 20% with the percutaneous method in 9,1%, with elastration in 10% of cases. The influence of the age of castration on the gain in live weight was established, for in calves castrated by the percutaneous method, by
elastation at the age of 60-90 days, the average daily gain was 1.55-1.56 times higher than in animals castrated at 150-180 days of age. During castration by the percutaneous method, the increase in live weight was 35–40% higher than during castration by the bloody method.
