Animal welfare implications of surgical castration and its alternatives in pigs [PDF]
, 2017 This paper constitutes a review on the welfare aspects of piglet castration that considers the scientific literature published after 2004. Castrating during the neonatal period (1 to 3 days of age) is clearly painful.

Factors involved in the development of boar taint [PDF]
, 2004 Boar taint has been mainly associated with the presence of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue of entire male pigs. This work was focused on the effects of breed, age, hormonal status, and diet composition on boar taint level. The results showed that skatole levels in entire male pigs varied considerably with age, and the degree as well as the ...
