Only a veterinarian, or a veterinary student under the direct supervision of a veterinarian, can castrate a horse. Pain relief must be provided.
New rules for surgical procedures on animals came into effect in New Zealand this week, following a year-long delay because of Covid-19.
The new regulations under the Animal Welfare Act 1999 cover a variety of procedures carried out on a range of animals by veterinarians and others – from specialist procedures to routine ones such as equine dentistry to lamb tail docking and goat disbudding.
