Neutering
Neutering, from the
Latin neuter (of neither sex), is the removal of an animal's
reproductive organ, either all of it or a considerably large part. "Neutering" is often used incorrectly to refer only to male animals but the term actually applies to both sexes. The male-specific term is
castrating while
spaying is usually reserved for female animals. Colloquially, both terms are often referred to as
fixing. In male horses, castrating is referred to as
gelding. Modern veterinary practice tends to use the term "de-sexing".
