摘要: Increasing fatness and avoiding puberty are desirable in gilts intended for high-quality dry-cured ham production. A total of 48 Duroc x (Landrace Large White) females 26.5 ± 3.70 kg body weight (BW) were used to evaluate the impact immunocastration find optimum application time second dose on growth; sex hormones; reproductive tract development; carcass, meat, fat quality. Gilts allocated four experimental treatments (n = 12): control (entire gilts, EG) immunocastrated (IG), providing at 12, 9, or 7 weeks before slaughter (with approximately 60, 75, 90 BW, respectively). Mean BW was 125 kg. Immunocastrated had lighter tracts greater thickness than EG. Fat from IG more saturated less polyunsaturated that Numerically, 9 12 presented higher those slaughter. In conclusion, is a good strategy improve destined elaboration, with seemingly between
