AIM OF THE STUDY
Effect of restricted feed intake (after V2) in immunocastrates /comparison to ad libitum fed boars
and surgical castrates/on
• performance• carcass traits• meat quality
• 88 pigs - LN×LW×PI
• 4 treatment groups
• individual housing• ad libitum feeding: SC, EM, IC_L, • IC_R restricted feed intake (80% of SC)
MATERIAL AND METHODS - 1
• SC, n=22 • EM, n=24 • IC_L, n=21 • IC_R, n=21
Traits of interest: • DG, FI, FCR • carcass traits• meat quality traits Immunocastration
effectivness:• boar taint compounds (A, S), • reproductive organs
Ante-mortem stress:• carcass lesions
MATERIAL AND METHODS - 2

Conclusion
Results of this study suggest some benefits in terms of performance and carcass quality, when feed restriction is applied to IC after the active immunisation.
