Fattening of entire male pigs under organic conditions – Influences of group composition on injuries and behaviour [PDF]
, 2014 Fattening of entire male pigs prevails as an alternative to castration of male piglets. Entire males show more agonistic and mounting behavior than castrates, which can be a cause for skin lesions and lameness.

Biocompatible but Antibacterial Mechanism of Graphene Oxide for Sustainable Antibiotics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Graphene oxide (GO) exhibits selective antibacterial activity through specific interactions between its oxygen functional groups and bacterial membrane phospholipid POPG, causing membrane destabilization while maintaining biocompatibility. Model membrane studies and infected wound models in mice and pigs demonstrate effective bacterial suppression and ...

A diversified organic pork production – presentation of a concept based on seasonal outdoor rearing of very small entire males [PDF]
, 2008 The risk of boar taint in entire males is supposed to increase with increased age and weight. Thus, a method to reduce this risk may be to slaughter the pigs at a low age and weight.

Skin‐Interfaced Therapeutic Patches for Wound Fluid Management and Transdermal Drug Delivery
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study presents an integrated skin‐interfaced device combining microfluidics, hydrogel film technology, flexible electronics, and iontophoresis‐based transdermal delivery of PDRN to enhance wound healing. The device effectively manages wound fluid, maintains optimal moisture, and non‐invasively delivers therapeutic drugs.

Myofibrillar fragmentation in entire male, immunocastrated or surgically castrated pigs
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019 Abstract In order to better characterise differences in meat quality traits between the alternatives to surgical castration, myofibrillar fragment length was investigated in longissimus dorsi muscle of entire (n=12), immunocastrated (n=12) and surgically castrated (n=12) male pigs. Higher myofibrillar fragment length was observed in meat
