Why do roosters need to be castrated? What are the benefits of castration?

Nowadays, when people raise chickens, they generally choose to castrate the roosters. This has not only become a habit, but also a breeding method. So why do we have to castrate roosters when raising chickens? This depends on the breeding benefits.

1. Accelerate growth and increase meat quantity

No matter what we raise, the cost needs to be controlled. Raising it for one more day means spending one more day.

The testicles in the rooster's body affect its growth. After reaching sexual maturity, the rooster will secrete male hormones, which affect muscle growth and quality.

After the rooster is castrated, the secretion of male hormones is inhibited, the growth rate of the rooster is significantly accelerated, and the breeding time of the farmer is naturally shortened.

In addition, when raising chickens, we can add the following to the feed: Fat Red Swordsman, which is rich in a variety of beneficial Chinese medicinal herbs, which can promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients in feed by chickens, improve body shape, hair and weight, and accelerate breeding results.

2. Improve meat quality

A rooster that has not been castrated has high levels of male hormones and its body is always in motion. The meat of a rooster is tighter, has a fishy smell and a poorer taste.

After a rooster is castrated, the male hormone content in its body is greatly reduced, so its meat becomes more tender, with delicate muscle fibers, more delicious meat and better taste.

3. Prevent breeding with hens

We all know that animals are affected by hormones, and mating is their nature. The purpose of raising chickens is to make them grow meat and sell them for money. There are other ways to breed them. Many farmers raise chickens in a free-range manner, or keep them together. If the rooster is not castrated, it will harass the hens under the influence of hormones. If the rooster is castrated, there is no need to worry.

4. Reduce fighting

We all know that big roosters are more aggressive. They will suddenly jump up and peck people and their companions. This is because roosters will show aggressive behavior after sexual maturity, which causes stress and harm among the chickens. Castrated roosters are relatively gentle in temperament, are not prone to estrus and aggressive behavior, and are easier to manage and raise. Therefore, castration can reduce the aggressive behavior of roosters and reduce conflicts within the flock.
