Castration is essential universal in pigs; only a few male pigs are chosen as potential breeder boars. One of the primary reasons is behavioral, with age, body size and sexual maturity boars tend to be more aggressive with pen mates and become more difficult to handle than barrows of similar age and weight.
Castration is essentially universal in pigs; only a few male pigs are chosen as potential breeder boars. One of the primary reasons is behavioral, with age, body size and sexual maturity boars tend to be more aggressive with pen mates and become more difficult to handle than barrows of similar age and weight. The other and perhaps most important reason is that meat from boars that are nearing sexual maturity (about 200 lbs. body weight) has a high potential for an odor and flavor problem commonly called “boar taint.” that many consumers detect in cooked pork from intact males.
Most of the veterinarians acknowledge that castration helps control aggressive behavior in pigs and recommends that the procedure. Studies have also indicated that pigs castrated at 2 weeks of age displayed fewer indicators of the pain than pigs castrated at 7 weeks of age.
