A Review of Environmental Risk Factors for African Swine Fever in European Wild Boar
Animals, 2021 A detailed understanding of environmental risk factors for African swine fever (ASF) in wild boar will be not only essential for risk assessments but also for timely and spatially informed allocation of resources in order to manage wild boar-targeted ASF

A performance test for boar taint compounds in live boars [PDF]
Animal, 2013 Genetically reducing boar taint using low-taint lines is considered the most sustainable and economic long-term alternative to surgical castration of male pigs. Owing to the high heritability of the main boar taint components (androstenone, skatole and indole), breeding is an excellent tool for reducing the number of tainted carcasses.

Pork Production with Entire Males: Directions for Control of Boar Taint
Animals, 2020 Boar taint is caused by the accumulation of androstenone and skatole and other indoles in the fat; this is regulated by the balance between synthesis and degradation of these compounds and can be affected by a number of factors, including environment and

Managing wild boar - considerations for wild boar management based on game biology data
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2011 The wild boar is a large ungulate which may produce serious economic problems. As the wild boar is highly reproductive, a fast dispersing species and flexible in behavior, management has to be adapted to the adaptive wild boar populations.

Spermatogenesis in the boar [PDF]
Veterinary Quarterly, 1982 In order to study kinetics of the spermatogenic epithelium in the adult boar, a method has been developed to prepare seminiferous tubules mounted as a whole, after which these tubules have been processed and studied as described previously only for rats, mice and hamsters.

Self-Administration of a Boar Priming Pheromone Stimulates Puberty in Gilts without Boar Exposure
Animals, 2023 Labor is in short supply in animal agriculture. One time-consuming task is estrus detection in gilts. Stimulation with a live boar causes the onset of puberty in young gilts. Typically, a live boar is used to stimulate and identify estrus in the gilts by
