Wiederaufnahme der Hodenfunktion bei Ebern nach Immunisierung gegen das Go-nadotropin Releasing Hormon (GnRH) mit dem kommerziellen Antigen IMPROVAC®

, 2012
Traditionally, male pigs are surgically castrated without anaesthesia to avoid later occurrence of the sex odour androstenone in the carcass.Active immunization against GnRH is a painless alternative which inhibits LH and thus steroidogenesis in the Leydig cells.Time between second vaccination and return of Leydig cell function is unknown.
