- Abstract
The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency technique of fixation of the caudal curvature of the sigmoid flexure with myectomy of the penis retractor muscle and the performance of teaser bulls after surgery, through the detection of females in estrus, without performing the copulation. 12 teaser buffaloes were used without defined breed, with an average age of 20 months, weighing on average 200 kg. The animals were subjected to food and water fasting for 12 hours to provide tranquilization in advance. The surgical procedure consisted of the exteriorization of the sigmoid flexure, myectomy of penis retractor muscle and fixation of the caudal curvature of the penis sigmoid flexure. Of the 12 evaluated teaser buffaloes in the libido test, 100% performed the flehmen reflex, mount attempt, incomplete and complete jump with total inability of the penis exposure. It was concluded that this technique can be used safely, having simplicity in its execution, effective results and mainly low cost, not interfering in the animals' libido. The animals when tested as teaser buffaloes kept the libido during the experimental period with total inability of exposure of the penis.
