In beef cattle production,castration of bulls is mainly to reduce the aggressiveness or aggressiveness of bulls,avoid carcass contusion and dark meat color,and at the same time prevent harm to breeders and other individuals in cattle.Fattening cattle after castration can improve the tenderness and marbling taste of beef,and the selling price is higher.This paper analyzed the effects of castration on beef cattle production performance,slaughter performance,physiological and biochemical indexes and meat quality,and summarized the research on the mechanism of castration on beef cattle production in recent years,in order to provide a reference for the application of castration in beef cattle production and the follow-up research.
