Early castration of horses

• Background: The very early castration of foals has not yet been studied despite the many positive effects observed in domestic carnivores. • Objectives: To compare the performance of castration at 3 days in foals and 18 months in yearlings and assess their subsequent physical development and temperament.

• 背景：尽管在家养食肉动物中已观测到诸多积极效应，但针对马驹极早期去势的相关研究仍暂未开展。
• 研究目标：对比3日龄马驹与18月龄周岁驹的去势手术效果，并评估二者后续的体格发育与性情表现。
