Why castrating an animal?

To stop the production of androgens and semen.
It is more beneficial for you to manage your cattle after castration as it reduces aggressiveness.
To strengthen farm safety for producers and employees.
It can also improve the meat quality of the castrated animals (e.g. boar taint in pork).
To prevent heredity or transfer of undesirable traits.
To reduce promiscuous mating among animals.
For birth control.

How do you castrate?

Choose and use the appropriate size of castrators according to the size of the animal.
Locate the spermatic cord. It enters the animal’s body from the testicles. It is about the size of a pencil and easily moves from one side to the other on palpation.
Correctly position the castrator for crushing. Crush with the castrator for about 5 minutes.
Release the castrator, move it to a new site 1 to 2cm below the first site, and repeat the same operation.
Note that the non-crushed space maintains the irrigation and prevents from gangrene.
Execute these operations on the testicular (or spermatic) cord of the second testis.

Precautions

Never try to crush simultaneously both testicular cords. This may be ineffective and may damage the castrator.
Check the animals after four to six weeks to ensure testicular atrophy.
Castration should be done under the supervision of experienced operators.
Please immobilize the animals before using this tool on them.

Shipping & Delivery

Afrimash provides various shipping methods. These methods vary based on the class of the item being shipped, the weight, and/or the customer’s choice at checkout.

We currently offer three shipping options: Local Pickup shipping, Economy shipping, and Convenient shipping options.

Local Pickup Shipping

Local Pickup is the shipping option that gives our customers affordable delivery fees with flexible control over the pickup of their orders.

This means that the customer can pick up his or her package from a local road transport park or an agreed pickup point close to his/her home or office address. We ensure swift and secure deliveries through commercial vehicles from third-party transporters and road transport agencies across Nigeria.

We also make sure the third-party transporters are supplied with the contact details of the customers for communication and a smooth delivery process.

For this type of delivery method, we always encourage our customers to get ready to pick up their items before the drivers get to the agreed pickup point or park.

Customer Guidelines for Local Pick-ups

Please get to the agreed local park or pickup venue early enough before the arrival of your order, which is packaged and sealed with your invoice.
Please inspect your item immediately at the pickup point before leaving.
If there is any problem, please contact the Afrimash logistics team on 2348092323212
Also note that Afrimash works with 3rd party transporters/drivers, the rigors of the journey may affect their temperament while communicating with customers, thus we advise for patience and tact when communicating with the drivers as well as picking up your orders.
Drivers are always paid per order before dispatch unless otherwise stated prior to dispatch of your order.
Kindly disregard any solicitation for extra payment from any driver before picking up your order.

Local pickup is suitable for customers who are ready to pick up their items within 24 hours after order confirmation. Local pickup is also suitable for customers who are close to central locations and motor parks as this gives them easy access to the pickup of their goods.
