Sažetak
At present time, it can be speculated that surgical castration is to be abandoned soon and that entire male pigs as well as immunocastrates will be introduced in the pig production in a larger scale than nowadays. The differences in fattening traits between genders have been well documented. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of terminal sire breed on some fattening traits of four different pig genders (gilts, barrows, immunocastrated pigs and entire males)
