VASEKTOMI PADA MONYET EKOR PANJANG (MACACA FASCICULARIS) DI LOKASI WISATA SANGEH

Growth population control on the animal population dwelling a restricted habitat is very important to decrease the negative impact on its surrounding environment. This Public Service was formed as an application of vasectomy on an adult male of long tailed macaque occupying the tourist destination of Sangeh, as a method of choice to overcome the overcrowded population. Vasectomy is surgical division of all or part of the vas deferens to induce sterility. One selected adult male monkey was anesthetized successfully using blowpipe. Surgical resection of part of vas deferens used a bilateral slicing method. Vasectomy was fully done nearly in one hour, and the monkey was released back to habitat in the following three days of captivity.
