Effect of immunological castration of male pigs on morphological and functional condition of the testicles

Abstract

Changes in the priorities of the treatment of animals in the conditions of intense technology of production of livestock products are based on the necessity of wellbeing of animals. Therefore, there is a need of search for and broad introduction of generally accepted alterna-tives to surgery, which would use modern means of castration, particularly immunocastration. The study presents morpho-functional subs-tantiation of practicability of using immunological castration in the conditions of industrial production of pork.
