Castration Of Male Piglets

« on: September 30, 2008, 08:20:26 PM »

Hi Doc Nemo,
Good day. I just want to get your opinion, regarding the right age of male piglets subject to castration. If the piglets is for fattener and then slaughter, what is the minimum and maximum
age of male piglets to be scheduled for castration? Is there any conflict when the administration of vaccines or vitamins injection is the same day of castration? Thanks. Nick

Some castrate at 7 days some up to 14 days. I go for 10 days.

DOn't castrate and vaccinate.

You could castrate and give vitamins.

If you castrate and vaccinate the vaccine might not work.
