Meta-analysis of the effect of immunocastration on production performance, reproductive organs and boar taint compounds in pigs

Conclusion: With regard to carcass quality, the immunocastrates take intermediate position between EM and SC. Besides, our analysis suggests no difference in meat quality with SC and some meat quality advantages of immunocastrates over EM because of higher intramuscular fat content (θ = 0.4) and lower shear force (θ = -0.6).
