  "summary": "This study investigated the clinical and productive effects of surgical castration with pain relief in suckling male pigs (3-6 days old). It found that castration increased pre-weaning mortality (PWM), particularly in lighter pigs, and negatively affected body weight at weaning (BWW) in heavier pigs. PigMAP levels also increased post-castration.",
