Newberry castrating knife
This image shows a Newberry castrating knife, a robust stainless steel veterinary tool commonly used in livestock management, particularly for cattle.
It features grooved, ergonomic handles for a secure grip and a unique clamp-like head with dual blades.
During use, the instrument is positioned over the scrotum and squeezed to clamp and simultaneously split the scrotal sac cleanly, allowing the testicles to be exposed for removal.
This method is valued for being fast, bloodless, and reducing the risk of infection, making it a preferred choice for ranchers and veterinarians handling large herds.
The durable construction ensures longevity and easy sterilization.
