You can wean from the 25 to 40 days but less, although I recommend you that the date but appropriate it is from 31 to 35 days, clearing up that it is like it is used in Cuba and at least to my he/she gives me result. To the pig you can castrate it with more results during the first days of nursing, I recommend you the three days, although you can castrate after the weaning, but the first option allows you the saving of the vaccine or the tetanic serum.

it is necessary to know that type of exploitation is with the one that count, if it is tecnificada or not, the sanitary level of the farm, if it is complete cycle or in multisitios, and the feeding type with the one that you count for your pigs. With a detailed description of the exploitation, it is possible to create a weaning strategy, since a weaning early (less than 21 days) it requires of an infrastructure to be taken I end up in successful form and to obtain this way the benefits of this.

The age to the weaning, among 21 to 56 days is a decision of the producer, in which should weigh, the type of facilities, and fundamentally the ingredients that you prepare in your country to elaborate the portions. Of course that to smaller weaning age, the portion is but face and but complex.
Regarding the castaración you should carry out it it but early that you can, because the animal suffers less, it heals but quick, and it is but easy to manage.

Hello, boys. As for the weaning I coincide with all you, but in the castration: yes, of agreement that while younger, better for everything. But I continue saying based on my experience of making it every day during 20 years that I take already, there are not problems in castrating them to any age, even with more than 20 @. Do you castrate the females? Do you imagine a female mother with 200 kilos? Because I have to castrate them when the industrial one or cattleman stops to interest him them to continue him raising, sometimes, many, until 300 mothers of the tug. The best age to castrate is: for the animal after the weaning, for me, to the four months of age, for the cattleman, when I tell him.
Saludos.
