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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
