Pork production with immunocastration: welfare and environment
, 2018 Societal pressure to end surgical castration of piglets without anaesthesia and pain relief is increasing. Twoalternatives to surgical castration currently exist: raising entire males (EM) or immunocastrated males (IC), bothwith advantages and disadvantages. Considering animal integrity, EM may be the preferred choice.

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).

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2011 Immunocastration (IC) of pigs during their finishing phase avoids the traumatic castration surgery (Q) still practiced in many countries to prevent boar taint in pork. We have not found reports on IC evaluated on culled adult boars. In this study we evaluated boar taint, spermatogenesis, and weight loss of adult boars after castration by IC versus Q. A
