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 ...

Different scalding techniques do not affect boar taint

Meat Science, 2012
The prevention of unpleasant boar taint is the main reason for castration of male piglets. For animal welfare reasons, castration is announced to be banned in the European Community. This study aimed to investigate whether androstenone, skatole and indole in backfat of boars may be reduced by different scalding technologies.

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

Epidemiological analysis of African swine fever in the European Union during 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract During 2025, the number of EU Member States affected by African swine fever (ASF) increased from 13 to 14, following the detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in wild boar in Spain. The number of ASF outbreaks in domestic pigs in the EU increased from 333 in 2024 to 585 in 2025, largely driven by Romania, accounting for 81% of ...

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

A diversified organic pork production – presentation of a concept based on seasonal outdoor rearing of very small entire males [PDF]

, 2008
The risk of boar taint in entire males is supposed to increase with increased age and weight. Thus, a method to reduce this risk may be to slaughter the pigs at a low age and weight.
