The processes as performed on humans are given different names but they can be done. Making a male dog, horse or other domestic animal unable to reproduce is called "neutering." In humans it is called "castration" and may be a gross physical cutting or a more precise surgical procedure that removes or disconnects the reproductive organs. Making a female domestic animal unable to reproduce is called "spaying." This involves abdominal surgery to remove the ovaries and uterus, or just the ovaries. It is less commonly used in humans with the intention of making the person sterile, although such surgeries are used for other medical reasons. The more common means of surgically controlling female fertility is a tubal ligation (severing the fallopian tubes).

What do you mean by nutar nouns?

I don't know of the word "nutar," but "neuter," pronounced the same, refers in some languages to a gender category: "neither masculine nor feminine." Remember, there is no real grammatical gender among nouns in English. There are masculine (he,him,his), feminine (she,her,hers) and neuter (it,its) pronouns. The masculine and feminine agree with nouns indicating, respectively, male or female animate beings. Neuter pronouns agree with inanimate nouns. You can call those nouns neuter if you like, but, apart from pronoun agreement, the category has practically no significance. Not all nouns with neuter pronoun agreement should be called neuter. Names of animate nouns of indeterminate sex - cat, dog - are not neuter, but can take a neuter pronoun, (or a masc. or fem. if you happen to know the sex of your particular cat or dog.
