dc.descriptionOn the global stage, the significance of swine production in the agri-food industry is indisputable. The industry is a primary source of animal protein for human consumption, underscoring its fundamental role in global nutrition and sustainability. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the productive parameters in pigs subjected to surgical or immunocastration, with a focus on evaluating their impact on animal welfare. This investigation aims to generate scientific information that will inform decision-making processes in the domain of swine production. The research was conducted in the swine production area to evaluate and compare the productive parameters between surgical castration and immuno-castration. A total of 20 male pigs of varying genetic backgrounds were utilized as subjects for study. The experimental procedures involved two distinct methods of castration: surgical and immunocastration. These methods differed in their approach to reproductive parameters. The most efficacious treatment was determined to be immunocastration or chemical castration. T2 exhibited superior outcomes in terms of weight gain (2354 lb), feed consumption (4400 lb), feed conversion (1.87), and benefit-cost ratio (3.12). These results surpassed those of surgical castration (T1), which yielded weight gain (2002 lb), feed consumption (5000 lb), feed conversion (2.49), and cost-benefit ratio (2.68). This analysis indicates a progressive increase. It is concluded that immunocastration, also known as T2 chemical castration, is a viable alternative to analyze and determine the productive characteristics and health of the animals. This method is comparable and even superior to surgical castration.es_ES

dc.description.abstractA nivel internacional, la producción porcina desempeña un papel fundamental en la industria agroalimentaria, siendo una de las principales fuentes de proteína animal para el consumo humano. El objetivo principal del presente estudio es determinar los parámetros productivos en cerdos castrados mediante castración quirúrgica e inmuno castración, evaluando su impacto y el bienestar animal, con el fin de generar información científica que apoye la toma de decisiones en la producción porcina. El trabajo de investigación se efectuo en el área de porcicultura con el fin de evaluar y comparar los parámetros productivos entre castración quirúrgica e inmuno castración. Como objetos de estudios, se utilizaron 20 machos porcinos de diferentes genéticas utilizando distintos parámetros reproductivos como en el caso de la castración quirúrgica e inmuno castración. El tratamiento que mejores resultados nos dio fue la inmunocastración o castración química T2 tuvo mejores resultados tanto en ganancia de peso que fue de 2354 lb, el consumo de alimento de 4400 lb, la conversión alimenticia de 1,87 y también en la relación beneficio costo de 3,12 superando los resultados de la castración quirúrgica T1 con valores de ganancia de peso de 2002 lb, consumo de alimento de 5000lb, conversión alimenticia de 2,49 y relación costo beneficio de 2,68. En este análisis se muestra que existe un incremento progresivo. Se concluye que la inmunocastración, también conocida como castración química T2, es una alternativa viable para analizar y determinará las características productivas y la salud de los animales comparables e incluso mejores a los obtenidos a través de la castración quirúrgica.es_ES
