Testosterone and the incidence of boar taint: Effects of testosterone or testosterone propionate on the incidence of boar taint in implanted barrows

Meat Science, 1985
Boars, barrows and barrows implanted with testosterone or testosterone propionate via polydimethylsiloxane (Silastic) capsules were placed on test in individual pens at 10 weeks of age. Each animal was slaughtered at 110 kg and evaluated for growth rate, efficiency of feed utilization, carcass merit and the incidence of objectionable odors (boar taint).

Incidence of boar taint in Swedish Landrace and Yorkshire boars

Livestock Production Science, 1974
Abstract Boar taint in 500 Swedish Landrace and Yorkshire boar carcasses was tested by smelling fat samples heated on the tip of a soldering iron at 150°C. About 40% of the boars were scored as non-tainted; in another 40%, the judges were unsure whether taint was present or not. Boar taint was judged present in only 20% of the boars.

Profiling of boar taint by nontargeted metabolomics

2013
In many countries, male piglets are castrated shortly after birth to avoid the production of meat with an unpleasant smell and flavour known as boar taint. Extensive research has been carried out during the last 40 years to delineate compounds that are responsible for this problem.
