Nevertheless, Aurora said in 2021 that they were using immunocastration on a large scale, and the information on Aurora’s website on 24 October 2022 at 14:45:06 is compatible with surgical castration rarely being performed then, and ending in 2023 regardless of Sinergia’s work. I guess ACE overestimated Sinergia’s impact on Aurora’s commitment by assuming this was as beneficial as preventing 7 years of all piglets being surgically castrated.
Moreover, I think ACE overestimated the benefits of the commitment, @Vince Mak 🔸. They used a decrease of 0.628suffering-adjusted days (SADs) per piglet helped referring an improvement from “Piglets (HIC) - full suite of mutilations” to “Piglets (HIC) - no castration”, whereas the real improvement was from surgical castration with the use of anesthetic to immunological castration, which seems to respect a much smaller decrease in the amount of suffering.
