A selective immunization procedure against 5α-androstenone in boars

, 1982
An auto-immunization procedure selective for boar 5α-androstenone is described. Immunization of boars with a conjugate of androstenone and bovine serum albumin as a carrier protein significantly reduced the accumulation of androstenone in adipose tissue ...

Asian low-androstenone haplotype on pig chromosome 6 does not unfavorably affect production and reproduction traits.

, 2014
European pigs that carry Asian haplotypes of a 1.94-Mbp region on pig chromosome 6 have lower levels of androstenone, one of the two main compounds causing boar taint.

Reduced concentration of androstenone and upregulation of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase mRNA levels by active immunisation against gonadotropin releasing hormone I

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2014
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of active immunisation against recombinant maltose binding protein-gonadotropin releasing hormone I (MBP-GnRH-I6) in preventing boar taint.

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.

Economics of boar taint prevention without surgical castration in the pork chain [PDF]

, 2010
An economic analyses of boar taint prevention without surgical castration is lacking. This paper explores currently feasible alternatives to surgical castration along the pork chain.

Sex Differences in Response to the Odor of Alpha Androstenone

, 1990
Additional analyses of ratings by 98 male and 102 female college students assigned to one of four odor conditions showed no significant correlations for the methyl anthranilate or skatole odor conditions, but the pattern of correlations for men and ...

Influence of breed and slaughter weight on boar taint prevalence in entire male pigs

Animal, 2011
Piétrain (P), Large White (LW) and Belgian Landrace stress negative (BN) boars were slaughtered at 50, 70, 90 or 110 kg live weight to investigate breed differences and the effect of slaughter weight on boar taint prevalence. Boar taint was quantified by

Learning to smell: Repeated exposure increases sensitivity to androstenone, a major component of boar taint

, 2013
This study aimed to assess whether repeated exposure affects subjects' ability to detect androstenone. Olfactory acuity of 77 female and 44 male subjects (age 37.5 +/- 11.7 years) was assessed three times during six weeks.

Interaction of Skatole and Androstenone in the Olfactory Perception of Boar Taint

, 2016
This study analyzed odor–odor interactions of two malodorous volatile substances, androstenone and skatole, that may accumulate in fat and meat of uncastrated male (boar) pigs.

Ion chromatograms and mass spectra (inset) of androstenone and its metabolites.

, 2015
(A) androstenone in the medium in absence of isolated hepatocytes; (B) androstenone in the medium in the presence of isolated hepatocytes. No androstenone was found after 24 h of cell culture; (C) identified androstenone metabolite (m/z+ = 257.2245). The
