Skatole pattern during the growth period 50 to 100 kg liveweight in entire male pigs of the crossbreed combinations YDxLYD and HxLYD kept in groups of entire male pigs or in groups with dominant female pigs [PDF]
, 2005 1. Dominant females do not decrease the skatole and androstenone concentration in entire male pigs being dominated during the growth period from 50-100 kg liveweight (see fig. 1 and 3). 2.

Gonadal hormones, but not sex, affect the acquisition and maintenance of a Go/No-Go odor discrimination task in mice [PDF]
, 2018 In mice, olfaction is crucial for identifying social odors (pheromones) that signal the presence of suitable mates. We used a custom-built olfactometer and a thirst-motivated olfactory discrimination Go/No-Go (GNG) task to ask whether discrimination of ...

Benign Synthesis of Thiazolo-androstenone Derivatives as Potent Anticancer Agents [PDF]
Organic Letters, 2018 An unprecedented reaction of thiourea derivatives with 6β-bromoandrostenedione has been discovered for the formation of aminothiazolo-androstenones via a simple, safer, cascade protocol that enables the syntheses of novel molecules by using readily available reagents.

Effect of feeding fermentable fibrerich feedstuffs lupin and chicory prior to slaughter with special emphasis on the effect on chemical boar taint in organic entire male and female pigs and technological meat quality [PDF]
, 2007 Boar taint is an off-flavour of pork caused primarily by skatole and, androstenone. Pig off-odour and flavour mostly caused by higher skatole concentrations in backfat.

Gene expression profiles in liver of pigs with extreme high and low levels of androstenone
BMC Veterinary Research, 2008 Background Boar taint is the unpleasant odour and flavour of the meat of uncastrated male pigs that is primarily caused by high levels of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue.

Reduced‐fat entire male pork sausages with vegetable fiber can be an option for marketing this meat. Consumers consider castration to be justified if it improves the sensory perception of entire male pork.

Pig meat quality from entire males
Animal, 2009 This paper constitutes an updated review of the production and meat quality aspects of rearing entire male pigs. Since a major obstacle in rearing entire males is the incidence of boar taint, possible methods for detection are also summarised.
