In Mizoram castration of pig is usually done after:
A)
1 month
B)
3 months
C)
Immediately after weaning
D)
After one week of birth
In pig management, castration is performed to prevent 'boar taint' (an unpleasant odor in the meat) and to control aggressive behavior. While castration can be done at a very young age (pre-weaning), in the practical context of livestock management in Mizoram and general veterinary practice, it is most commonly and ideally performed immediately after weaning. Weaning typically occurs between 4 to 8 weeks of age. Performing the procedure immediately after weaning reduces the stress on the piglet during the nursing period and ensures the animal is robust enough to recover quickly from the surgical stress before entering the grower phase. Option (d) is often too early for general farm practice due to high mortality risks, and options (a) and (b) are less precise than the physiological milestone of weaning.
