Data paper presents carcass and meat quality outcomes in immunocastrated and entire male pigs, highlighting potential for further analysis.

This research aims to provide extensive data on production and meat qualities of immunocastrated and entire male pigs.
Data collected from 11 entire male pigs, 14 late immunocastrated pigs, and 12 early immunocastrated pigs.
Parameters measured include daily feed consumption, body characteristics, carcass measurements, bone measurements, and meat quality metrics.
Data on histology, proximate analysis, and sensorials were included and the data can be reused for further analysis.
Detailed measures provided include carcass fat thickness, muscle depth, and reproductive organ characteristics.
Meat quality parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, and histological fiber proportions were documented.
Findings support possible meta-analysis or re-evaluation for varied methods in future studies.
