Abstract

The production of immunocastrated and entire male pigs, as an alternative to surgical castration of male piglets, resulted in numerous new challenges in the pig production. The novel matters in this production are mainly related to detection and mitigation of boar taint and aggressive behaviour of intact male pigs, as well as to animal welfare issues, specific nutritional needs and housing conditions, carcass composition, meat quality traits and acceptability by the consumers. The current paper gives an overview of main advantages and drawbacks in the production of pork with entire male pigs and immunocastrates.
