The appropriate technique is the one that you can manage in the farm with the smallest possible estress. However, the incision of a bag escrotal, included the vaginal tunic, will make that the testicle comes out, and to refold the tunic, you proceeds to carry out a rasped with the opposed border to the edge of the scalpel leaf, with the purpose of carrying out a good hemostasia. Then for the same bag escrotal to extract the other testicle, taking the cautions of first.

Finally a disinfectant is applied - healing, and that is everything. The time but appropriate it will be in the first week of age, it is less traumatic. A final question, this referred to the necessity of the castration, since the whole pigs develop but quickly, this comes from the effect anabolizante that has the testosterona, the one that takes to bigger ganacia of weight and meat but rasher, on the other hand the swinish one that goes to camal in 145 days, doesn't develop unpleasant scent neither sew for the style, except for better approach.

I Work in a swinish farm and I consider that the age to castrate is between the second and third week of life, I offer in most of the cases to extract the two testicles through a single insición, finally I apply a gel antibacterial of use topic and 1 cc IM from an antimicobriano to 5%, the ideal thing is to let that the testicle appears cutting until its last layer and loss of blood is avoided this way.

Hello to todos/as. I only take two days inside this forum that by the way it is very good, and I eat my work it is no longer only the castration of pigs, if not of any animal. For example, the roosters, for if they don't know it they are castrated below the wing. In short, I don't leave me the topic. I am already realizing that you over there don't castrate the females, only the males. Here in Spain they are had to castrate to todos/as for the topic of the one it puts on weight, like they are sueltos/as in the field, taking advantage of the montanera and grass. I already say that the castration to any age and weight, without any problem neither estrés. Do you count me your opinion??? The hogs, most castrates them with more than 200 kilos, and neither floor to have problems.
Saludos.

Friend Aba: I don't want that you with my answer, because it is very different to castrate the pigs like you say you in cebaderos to those of field, for the topic of the one put on weight and months of life. Here, to those of cebadero the floor to castrate (males and FEMALES) to the 35/40 days. But those of field, rather for the montanera, the floor to castrate to any age, preferably for my part with 5 months. But some cattlemen in their ignorance, it won't be because I don't notice them to him, they leave them to me to castrate until with 8 @ you enrapture, even most of times the advanced enough females in their pregnancy, with their corresponding risk of... But in general, I don't usually have any problem. If you have some cattle raising I am used cebadero of over there, I advise you you pay attention to most and castrate to the 2-3 day of being born, although I don't still know how you make it with the females, and if you castrate them, because nobody still answered me.
Greetings.
