Sustainability of Pork Production with Immunocastration in Europe [PDF]
Sustainability, 2019 Immunocastration, a technique to replace surgical castration of piglets, consists of two consecutive vaccinations to induce antibodies which transiently suppress testicular functions and avoid boar taint. It is a method to ensure both a high product quality and a high level of animal welfare.

Effect of immunocastration and caponization on fatty acid composition of male chicken meat [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2019 Recently, immunocastration with Improvac (ImmC). has been tested in broilers and a considerable reduction in serum testosterone concentration (reduced by 79% compared to roosters) was observed.

Immunocastration of colts and immunospeying of fillies
Immunology & Cell Biology, 1993SummaryA series of experiments using an ovalbumin conjugated gonadotrophin releasing hormone was used to stimulate antibody production, suppress testosterone secretion and depress testicular function in yearling and 2 year old colts and fillies. In the preliminary experiment, an injectable oil–based formulation was administered to yearling colts ...

Immunocastration in cattle and pigs
Livestock Production Science, 1995Abstract Raising gonad-intact farm animals has many advantages over conventional castrates. Intact animals are generally more efficient in the conversion of feed into lean meat. In addition to decreasing production costs, better feed efficiency also leads to a reduction in the output of various biological pollutants, particularly nitrogen.

Immunocastration and immunospaying in horses
2022This study has concentrated on the effects of an ovalbumin conjugated GnRH vaccine on the testicular function of colts, vaccinated at various ages from pre-pubertal to 3-yr old using three forms of the vaccine: mineral oil-based, water-based and subcutaneous implant.

Mechanistic insight into the role of immunocastration on eliminating skatole in boars
Theriogenology, 2019The accumulation of skatole in fat tissue is one of the predominant factors, causing boar taint. The present study was aimed to understand the mechanism whereby active immunization against GnRH (immunocastration) eliminates skatole in boars. Thirty-six boars were assigned within litter into three groups (n = 12): control, surgically castrated, or ...

Sustainability in pork production with immunocastration
2021The ERA-NET project SuSI deals with immunocastration (IC) as a sustainable alternative to pork production with surgical castrates and boars with the aim to optimize pork production on a social, environmental and economic level. Most male piglets in the EU are surgically castrated, which is painful and violates their physical integrity.
