Resumo: | To compose the experiment, 160 male Topgen pigs - 80 surgically castrated (treatment 1) and 80 immunocastrated (treatment 2) - were randomly selected from a commercial swine farm at the moment of slaughter. Surgical castration was performed when the animals were seven days of age and immunocastration was performed by administering two doses (2 mL each) of immunocastration vaccine (analogue of GnRF linked to a carrier protein, development of anti-GnRF antibodies, 200 mg of a GnRF-protein conjugate/mL) when they were 104 and 132 days of age. Animals from both treatments were maintained in masonry stalls, where they received water and ad libitum diet (the same feed for both groups). The animals were slaughtered at 160 days of age, and the length and width of the testicles of immunocastrated animals were evaluated, along with the degree and number of carcass lesions, carcass traits and meat quality of both treatments. The means of these measurements were calculated and compared by Student´s t-test. For the immunocastrated treatment, Pearson´s correlation coefficients were also calculated for testicle length and width with backfat thickness. Approximately 80% of the immunocastrated animals had testicle widths of 11 cm or less. Immunocastrated animals showed higher degrees of lesions, pH (initial and 8 hours), hue, muscle depth and loin eye area and lower brightness, redness, chroma and backfat thickness than the surgically castrated animals. The correlation between testicle length and width with backfat thickness was inverse. Immunocastration can be an alternative to improve the proportion of lean meat (longissimus thoracis) instead of fat (backfat thickness) leading to better carcass and meat quality, since fat has become undesirable from a nutritional point of view in swine. |

A castração cirúrgica foi realizada quando os animais tinham sete dias de idade e a imunocastração realizada através da administração de duas doses (2 mL cada) da vacina de imunocastração (análogo do GnRH ligado a uma proteína carreadora, desenvolvimento de anticorpos anti-GnRH, 200 mg de um conjugado de proteína GnRH/mL) quando os animais tinham 104 e 132 dias de idade. Os animais de ambos os tratamentos foram mantidos em baias de alvenaria, onde receberam água e ração ad libitum (a mesma dieta para ambos os grupos). Os animais foram abatidos com 160 dias de idade e foram avaliados o comprimento e largura dos testículos dos animais imunocastrados, e o grau e número de lesões na carcaça, características de carcaça e qualidade da carne de ambos os tratamentos. As médias para essas avaliações foram calculadas e comparadas com o teste t. Para o tratamento imunocastrado foi também calculado o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson´s do comprimento e largura dos testículos com a espessura de gordura. Aproximadamente 80% dos animais tiveram largura dos testículos igual ou menor que 11 cm. Os animais imunocastrados mostraram maior grau de lesão, pH (inicial e 8 horas), tonalidade, profundidade de músculo e área de olho de lombo e menor luminosidade, intensidade de vermelho, croma e espessura de gordura do que os animais castrados cirurgicamente. A correlação entre comprimento e largura dos testículos com a espessura de gordura foi negativa. A imunocastração pode ser uma alternativa para aumentar a proporção de carne magra (longissimus thoracis) em detrimento de gordura (espessura de gordura), levando a uma carcaça de melhor qualidade desde que a gordura suína se tornou indesejável do ponto de vista nutricional.UEL2018-11-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/3021610.5433/1679-0359.2018v39n6p2531Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 39 No. 6 (2018); 2531-2540Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 39 n. 6 (2018); 2531-25401679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
