Don Caesar Ruiz: Atendiendo to their question, I comment him that the one castrated of pigs he/she is carried out among the 7 á 10 days of having been born to avoid bigger estrés and the scaring is good. But for what reason do we castrate? If they will put on weight, it is to be able to contain them next to the females and to avoid the problems that it carries the sexual development of the males (aggressiveness, fights, hurts, etc.). If he/she will sell it as pig, it would not be necessary to castrate it, since the supposition bad flavor that gives to the meat would be given by the testosterona or masculine hormone, which its proportion increases in blood during the puberty (6 months of age, aprox.). Espero to have been he useful. I am an Engineer Zootecnista of Tucumán (Argentina), and I work in the swinish topic for 6 years. |
