Immunocastration is a way to allow pigs to be produced in a manner where entire male pigs can benefit from their own testicular steroids to provide a lean growth advantage over castrated males and then be immunized at appropriate time to eliminate any detrimental effects those steroids may cause such as objectionable odors or flavors. Sensory characteristics of immunocasrated male pigs are probably one of the most studied and best characterized topics.
