BW and wound healing
BW change did not differ (P .0.05) among treatments
24 h after castration or control handling (CON: 0.2960.052,
CAS: 0.2360.051, SHORT: 0.2260.051 and LONG:
0.1660.052).
Wound healing scores were greater/worse (P ,0.05)
among SHORT piglets compared with CAS piglets 7 to
14 days after castration (Figure 2). Wound healing scores
were greater (P ,0.05) in SHORT piglets compared with
LONG piglets 9 to 14 days after castration (Figure 2). Wound
healing scores decreased (P ,0.001) over time regardless of
treatment (Figure 3).
