Modulation of porcine cytochrome P450 enzyme activities by surgical castration and immunocastration
Animal, 2009 The present study aimed to evaluate some cytochrome P450 metabolic enzyme activities in hepatic microsomes prepared from entire male pigs (uncastrated pigs), surgically castrated pigs and pigs immunized against gonadotropin-releasing hormone ...

Organic pig production 2014 -without castration [PDF]
Organic pork is a clear alternative to conventional pork because organic pig production, with outdoor access and roughage, is quite different. The low market share (1 %) for organic pork provides a promising development potential.

Production of androstenones from phytosterol by mutants of Mycobacterium sp.
Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2006 Abstract An androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (AD)-producing mutant, AD1 and an androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD)-producing mutant, PD3 were derived from a cholesterol-, phytosterol-assimilating bacterium Mycobacterium sp. B-3805S and a cholesterol-assimilating bacterium Mycobacterium sp.

The effect of cereal type and enzyme supplementation on carcass characteristics, volatile fatty acids and intestinal microflora and boar taint in entire male pigs [PDF]
, 2017 A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of cereal type (barley v. oat) and exogenous enzyme supplementation (with or without) on intestinal fermentation, and on indole and skatole levels in the intestinal content and the ...

Kastraation vaihtoehdot : Immunokastraation vaikutus kasvuun ja rehunkulutukseen [PDF]
, 2011 Lähes kaikki karjuporsaat kastroidaan Suomessa ja muualla EU:ssa ensimmäisen elinviikon aikana. Kastraation syynä on ns. karjun haju. Karjun haju on uroksen sukupuolihormonien (etenkin androstenonin ja skatolin) vaikutuksesta aiheutuva epämiellyttävä ...

Association between SNPs within candidate genes and compounds related to boar taint and reproduction
BMC Genetics, 2009 Background Boar taint is an unpleasant odour and flavour of the meat from some uncastrated male pigs primarily caused by elevated levels of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue.

Boar taint in very small organic entire male pigs - preliminary results [PDF]
, 2008 Very small entire male pigs can be part of a new concept of organic seasonal production of pigs. The concept includes outdoor production of small entire male pigs, very large female pigs and sows slaughtered after first litter.
