Boar taint detection: A comparison of three sensory protocols

Meat Science, 2016
While recent studies state an important role of human sensory methods for daily routine control of so-called boar taint, the evaluation of different heating methods is still incomplete. This study investigated three common heating methods (microwave (MW), hot-water (HW), hot-iron (HI)) for boar fat evaluation.

Einfluss von Genotyp und Fütterung in der ökologischen Mast intakter männlicher Schweine. I: Ebergeruch [PDF]

, 2017
Fattening of entire male pigs is a useful alternative to piglet castration but the problem of boar taint is still unresolved. The object of the present study was to test the effect of (i) two different terminal sire lines (Danish Duroc, Du vs.

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 ...

Indoleacetate decarboxylase is a glycyl radical enzyme catalysing the formation of malodorant skatole

Nature Communications, 2018
Skatole is a bacterial metabolite responsible for boar taint and the objectionable smell of manure. Here, the authors elucidate the final step of skatole biosynthesis, describing the discovery and biochemical characterization of the enzyme catalysing the

Effect of faecal soiling on skatole and androstenone occurrence in organic entire male pigs

Animal, 2015
Production of entire male pigs could be a future strategy for organic pig production. However, production of entire males leads to increased risk of carcasses with elevated boar taint levels.

Kastraation vaihtoehdot : Immunokastraation vaikutus kasvuun ja rehunkulutukseen [PDF]

, 2011
Lähes kaikki karjuporsaat kastroidaan Suomessa ja muualla EU:ssa ensimmäisen elinviikon aikana. Kastraation syynä on ns. karjun haju. Karjun haju on uroksen sukupuolihormonien (etenkin androstenonin ja skatolin) vaikutuksesta aiheutuva epämiellyttävä ...

Patterns of plasma sexual steroids in Duroc and Pietrain crossbred male pigs in organic farming and prediction of boar taint risk according to slaughter weight

Animal
Boar taint risk in pork highly depends on fat tissue concentrations of androstenone and skatole, and indole to a lower extent. During pubertal development, androstenone is increasingly produced by testes and accumulates in fat tissues. Skatole and indole
