Domestic goats (Capra hircus) have been used as animal models in biomedical research, and for numerous years for agricultural research and models for human diseases. This column describes an improved surgical technique, for castration of male goats, similar to companion animal techniques for use in the laboratory setting. The technique discussed supports a more in-depth perioperative protocol for performing scrotal ablation and orchiectomy in the male goat. Keywords: Scrotal ablation, Orchiectomy, Laboratory animal medicine, Small ruminants, Anesthesia
