Procedures that sterilize animals, control their breeding or help them give birth, including neutering, spaying, pediatric spaying, gelding, elastration, the Burdizzo castration clamp, veterinary obstetrics, fetotomy, estrous synchronization and immunocontraception.

Each member is a veterinary and animal care entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
