A few different methods showing how to castrate a male longpig.

The end results of perfectly performed castrations of two longpigs.

Their meat will be sweet and suculent in about 6 months with the proper diet.

Firmly restrained and almost complete!!!!!!!

 

If the longpig is a male, castration is the first step as the reduction of the male hormone is necessary to maximize the quality of the meat.

This procedure is actually quite simple. Firmly secure the longpig because he's not going to like this too much and with one hand grasp the penis and extend away and upward from the body. With the testicles layed out and exposed, they can be easily severed by a sharp butchers knife. Next a hot cauterizing iron is used to seal the scrotal sac.

 

Once the animal has been castrated, the next step is the fattening process. Click to the next page to see a longpig which has been ideally fattened and is ready for slaughter.
