Effect of immunocastration on sex glands of male Mangulica (Swallow-bellied Mangalitsa) pigs

Effect of immunocastration on sex glands of male Mangulica (Swallow-bellied Mangalitsa) pigs

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to study the effect of immunocastration on the morphometric characteristics of sex glands in male Swallow-bellied Mangalitsa pigs. The study included 24 animals (13 entire and 11 immunocastrated males). The research focused on the following traits: age at...
