Early immunocastration of male pigs
, 2011 The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of prepubertal or early pubertal vaccination against GnRH using Improvac® (Pfizer Ltd.) on boar taint, reproductive organs, anabolic hormones, cytochrome P450 enzymes, performance and behaviour. Crossbred male pigs (n=192) were randomly allocated to four groups: one group surgically castrated without

Effect of immunocastration on performance of Slovenian pig fatteners
Agriculturae Conspectus Scientificus, 2011 The influence of the immunocastration (immunisation against GnRH) on pig performance (growth, carcass and meat quality traits) was investigated in two parallel experiments (on two farms) with two crossbreeds – G1 (50% Duroc) and G2 (50% Pietrain).

Carcass traits of Mangalitsa pigs - effect of immunocastration
, 2023 This research was aimed at evaluating carcass differences between surgical and immunocastrated fatteners of Mangalitsa breed. The study comprised 23 male pigs kept under the identical managament conditions and divided in the two groups: surgically castrated (SC, n=11) and immunocastrated (IC, n=12).
