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. This happens because the testosterone levels in the blood will leave the meat tasting too strong or leaving the texture too tough. 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.
