Abstract: The study was carried out in 24 LWY male pigs of 2 months reared up to 8 months of age. Three treatment groups of castration namely Control or Surgical Castration (C), Treatment-1 or chemical castration using AGNO3 (T1) and Treatment-2 or chemical castration using KMnO4 (T2). Each group consist of 8 pigs and castrations were done when the animals reaches the age of 2-3 months for each of the treatment groups. The following parameters were recorded: Fortnightly bodyweight and feed intake. A highly significant (P<0.01) difference was observed in the final body weight and overall ADG; and significant (P<0.05) difference was observed in the overall ADFI and overall FCE of the group T1 compared to C and T2 group.
