Contenido: | Five groups of Braford male calves (n = 10 each) were castrated at 7 months of age by either 1) Surgery plus local Anesthetic, 2) Burdizzo, 3) Rubber ring, 4) Surgery plus anti-inflammatory, or 5) Traditional surgery (without pain mitigation) to determine the effect of the castration method on calves growth and development and also on meat quality. Live weight evolution was registered each 15 days and 4 ultrasound measures were performed during the finishing period (14 months). Carcass pH, meat color and shear force were determined with 2 and 14 days of aging. No differences in growth were found between Treatments and all of them reach the slaughter point at the same time. Meat brightness (*L) and redness (*a) were lower in meat coming from animals castrated by traditional surgery when compared to those where anesthetics was used before surgery. The evaluated castration methods did not determine differences in carcass pH nor in shear force values.
