Summary:This study aimed to evaluate the effects of kisspeptin-54 immunocastration vaccine on performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and safety of Yiling goats. Thirty buck goats were randomly assigned into three groups: PVAX-B2L-Kisspeptin-54-asd immunized (PBK-asd), control, and surgically castrated. PBK-asd immunization significantly stimulated serum anti-kisspeptin antibody production and reduced testosterone hormone compared with the control group (p
