My answer is that the late
castration has but disadvantages that advantages. If one makes with an
advanced age the pig he/she has bigger stres, the wound it is but big
although it is proportional to the size of the pig. when castrating it
belatedly the pig he/she takes refuge in a corner and he/she has one
period prolonged in the one that doesn't suckle. already this but dirty
the cage with the exccretas of the sow and of the pigs increasing the
infection possibilities, and in some cases they spend weanings without
castrating because to the one in charge he/she is joined the work.
Another person is needed that holds the pig. in short I believe that
there is but disadvantages. Contrary to as I make it, I castrate when
being born the pig. If you make him the whole handling in careful form,
when the loose ones in a teat this he/she begins to suckle and seemingly
their behavior is not affected greetings

Hello friend, one of the reasons is that the scaring process is very late and also already to that age is but pollutants in the maternity and one runs more infection risk, apart from that the loss of blood is bigger and problenas of anemia can be presented. Here in Venezuela we castrate to the 2do or 3er day of age to avoid that said previously.

Hello, boys. We will see: you speak of the castration in some terms that I don't understand you. Over there, do you castrate the female ones or only the males? I say it because I take more than 20 years exercising the castrador profession, and that is the only thing that I make every day of the year, I already said it in previous posts, like you will be able to check. And I castrate the males and females to any age and weight, and I don't have any problem in this respect. And I have a very big clientele among cattlemen and industrial of the slaughterhouses. To the females I take out them the ovaries and to the males the testicles, and point. Somebody can respond me how you make it over there, and if you make it with the females, what the is truly difícil/ísimo.
Saludos.

Man: finally somebody deigns in going to my person. Thank you, Javier. I enter every day in this forum, and nobody answered to my questions on how the castration is made over there. I respond you to your question on how I make it. I make him a small incision in the left side, I introduce the index and I take out him the two ovaries, those which you the short one. Followed act, I sew him the cut and I list. They don't leave in zeal neither they are pregnant, and they put on weight much more than without castrating, it sews so simple that he/she could even make it certain expert person in anatomy, which I mediate went to me in the topic of the hernias escrotales.
Affectionate greetings, Javier.

Hello, Capaó. Here in Chile, the truth is that they are not castrated or they sterilize females, at least that I know. Good, until the moment I made my practice in a genetic facility, and logically the destination for the females is the reproduction. Now, if they don't pass the reproductoras selection, they go to it puts on weight the same as the males, but they don't sterilize them.

Hello, Capao. He/she asked you since the question we don't castrate the females. You said of a better behavior of castrated females or not. This value can take importance if one has a multiplicadora and it pairs that they don't steal to one the genetics. I believe that it is good option, but here in a multiplicadora we send it to a rake where they buy us the animals, and we are sure that they are sacrificed. We don't spend neither we make him any handling. The multiplicadora is of 500 pigs, and it produces 220 pigs on the average a week. The numbers are 49% of females and 51% of males. There is not specialized person to make this. You that it is simple such which like we operate dogs, but apologizing the audacity, we don't consider it viable. I would like the numbers that manage to determine and to finance if this handling is revenue-yielding. The females end up having a growth of 96.17 kg average, and it varies from 113 to 92 kg, with an age of 142 days average, and it varies from 146 to 140 days of age. This is the best farm that I manage (it is not to invent numbers neither of showing off), and the worst is that they increase the age up to 158 days. Can these results improve with the work in females?, since it would be interesting to be able to contribute benefits to the producers. And on the other hand, they don't pay you attention I believe, because he/she is not practiced that faces.
Greetings.

Hello again, Javier. The first thing that you ask me is the behavior in the females. Because yes, here as much those of field as those of cebadero are castrated, for the interest in the increase of weight if you don't castrate them. Those that are devoted to sell reproducers to have very good genetics as you say, which sell them among 23 to 35 kg to 240 Euros/cabeza to make you devise, and las/os that don't sell, unquestionably goes castrated to the slaughterhouse so that they don't steal the genetics as you you comment. Him that it is simple as operating dogs, I believe that of simple he/she doesn't have anything, rather dificilillo. I already comment you that I fix him the livestock to many veterinarians of here, among them, to which was president of all them in Andalusia. That of the numbers that you/they are managed for the cost for if it is revenue-yielding-profitable, it is not place to comment it. Do I tell you that when here the breeders carry out it, it is that it will be they profitable, don't you believe? That of the average in weight and days, I tell you that it is excellent what you get over there, believes that better than here. What happens is that here a higher little bit is usually arrived in the weight, clearing is also sacrificing later them. When here they are castrated it is that it interests. Those of cebadero are fixing them when completing the 35-45 days (females). Personally I don't like it.
Good, not you if I have left something to respond you. To your service attn. Greetings.

Hello, professional castrador. I am student of MVZ, and my question is if you castrate the pigs for the scrotum or for the part inguinal.

Hello RIGEL, and in passing hello namesake, I already see that you return to the forum after your month, you will already count me I wait... does rigel tell you well that although the moon influences in non alone many factors in the castrations, imagine that ME that my work of every day of the year is if he/she had to wait to the whims of the moon that it happens that those days I don't work? because it doesn't PASS ANYTHING OF ANYTHING WITH THE HIGH OR LOW MOON, it is question of who makes it that he/she is a fan or a professional... do I imagine that after 20 years making it to a demanding public as the cattleman is, I believe that I know what I not tell myself? I leave you the open doors for what you want knowledge of castrations but never to become trained like it is at least the females because I take it of generation in generation..... GREETINGS

Hello Evelyn.. as much as time, I greet you, well, here some believe that when the moon is in growing to castrate the males he/she goes them very not well since they don't heal well and they wait to that is the moon in waning because the scaring decreases. good because well it seems that it sounds well you don't believe? but I make it anyway and the result is the same one, yes it influences in the childbirths it is full sabido,pero I comment you that that to me truly me dá fear in the castration and they are mainly the airs the since solano they swell enough, so much that when I arrive to the place and it blows in that way I don't begin and I leave for house... satisfied? to your disposition and I am glad to read you..

Hello Rolando, and Carlos of the previous message also hello, and pardon for the delay in answering their message, because I was not notified the arrival of the same one.

In all ways, if they want to see how it is made, better than with words, send me their mail and I already send them something so that they see the technique, because from the forum their name doesn't allow the mail to the clicar. He/she comes, a greeting.

how's it going friend.
Inside my personal experience, if you don't have thought to choose any pig like candidate to sire, and if the conditions of hygiene and facilities are favorable, the most advisable thing is to castrate the pigs one day after the birth, since as other advisers they mention it, of preference making a single small incision amid the two testicles, and later on to extract them, more than enough to say is that it is necessary to place some antiseptic one.
On the other hand, if after the weaning they have not still been castrated, it is recommended to isolate the males and to carry out the castration maneuver, with the purpose of avoiding that the female trompeen the area of the scrotum infecting the wound, and slowing the scaring, and of course, interrupting the speed of growth.
