Effect of surgical castration and chemical castrations (AgNO3 and KMnO4) on the production performance of growing finishing pigs
International Journal of Chemical Studies · 2019 · Vol. 7(4) · pp. 2819–2821
Abstract
The study was carried out in 24 LWY male pigs of 2 months reared up to 8 months of age. Three treatment groups of castration namely Control or Surgical Castration (C), Treatment-1 or chemical castration using AGNO3 (T1) and Treatment-2 or chemical castration using KMnO4 (T2). Each group consist of 8 pigs and castrations were done when the animals reaches the age of 2-3 months for each of the treatment groups. The following parameters were recorded: Fortnightly bodyweight and feed intake. A highly significant (P
