Genome-wide identification of QTL for age at puberty in gilts using a large intercross F population between White Duroc × Erhualian [PDF]
, 2008 Puberty is a fundamental development process experienced by all reproductively competent adults, yet the specific factors regulating age at puberty remain elusive in pigs. In this study, we performed a genome scan to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL)

Inter-laboratory comparison of methods to measure androstenone in pork fat [PDF]
, 2017 Today, different analytical methods are used by different laboratories to quantify androstenone in fat tissue. This study shows the comparison of methods used routinely in different laboratories for androstenone quantification: Time-resolved ...

Chicory roots improves the taste and odour of organic pork [PDF]
, 2005 The carbohydrate inulin is known to reduce the production of skatole in pigs. This is caused by inulin changing the intestinal flora, so that the bacteria that produce skatole are held in check.

Exploiting genomic information on purebred and crossbred pigs [PDF]
, 2015 The use of genomic information has become increasingly important in a breeding program. In a pig breeding program, where the final goal is an increased crossbred (CB) performance, the use of genomic information needs to be thoroughly evaluated as it may ...

A comparison of generalized multinomial logit, random parameters logit, wtp-space and latent class models to studying consumers' preferences for animal welfare [PDF]
, 2016 The European societies are requiring that animals to be raised as closely as possible to their natural conditions. The growing concerns about animal welfare is resulting in continuous modifications of regulations and policies that led to ban of a number ...

Performances, meat quality and boar taint of castrates and entire male pigs fed a standard and a raw potato starch-enriched diet [PDF]
, 2017 In Europe there is increasing concern about the common practice of surgical castration of piglets without anaesthesia. One possible alternative to completely avoid castration is entire male pig production.

Erste Ergebnisse eines Grundfuttervergleichs zur Senkung der Skatolbelastung in der ökologischen Ebermast [PDF]
, 2017 Skatole, one of the main causes of boar taint, derives from tryptophan in the large intestine and accumulates in the fat tissue of boars, thus decreasing meat quality.

A Rapid Radioimmunological Evaluation of the Androstenone Content in Boar Fat
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1979 Fat from boars containing androstenone is absorbed to a piece of filter paper. The filter paper is then placed in a tube and a buffer containing antibodies against androstenone is added. Following incubation the filter paper is removed, and by measurement of the residual binding capacity for androstenone in the buffer a relative value for androstenone ...
