When pigs are not castrated, they can exhibit a condition known as "boar taint," which is a strong, unpleasant odor and flavor that can be present in the meat of intact male pigs. This taint is caused by certain compounds, such as androstenone and skatole, which are produced during the animal's development. If the meat is described as "tainted," it typically means that the flavor is undesirable and can negatively affect the eating experience. Consequently, many producers choose to castrate male pigs to prevent this issue.

If you are raising pigs for meat, you cannot slaughter an intact male pig to be used for normal cuts of pork, it will need to be only used as sausage.

If the male is being raised or kept as a pet, some males do tend to become a little aggressive when they are older, when they are castrated the risk is decreased.
