The process of castrating male animals is done to

🔑Key PointsCastration is the process of removing the testicles of a male animal. 
Castration of male animals serves multiple purposes:
1. Increase meat production:
In livestock like cattle and pigs, castration prevents the production of sex hormones that can negatively impact meat quality and tenderness.
Castrated animals tend to have more marbled and flavorful meat.
 
2. Improve temperament:
Castration often makes male animals, particularly larger livestock like bulls and rams, calmer and easier to handle.
This improves both safety for farmers and herd management in general.
 
3. Prevent breeding:
This is perhaps the most obvious reason for castration. Uncontrolled breeding can lead to overpopulation, genetic dilution, and unwanted offspring.
Castration ensures male animals cannot fertilize females and helps control breeding within herds.
