The present study has been carried out in Thoubal and Kakching districts of Manipur. The study disclosed farmers’ perception on selecting castration methods in piglets among various methods. Chemical castration has been preferred by majority (85%) of the respondents. The study also revealed that chemical castration can be an alternative method to regular surgical castration because of its inexpensive, less time consuming, easy to perform, increase the body weight and feed conversion efficiency post castration.
