Effect of dietary chicory on boar taint
Meat Science, 2012Following preliminary screening and feeding trials on farms supplying a commercial abattoir, 360 entire male pigs were used to evaluate the effects of different percentages of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) on levels of boar taint compounds and sensory aspects in backfat.

Incidence of boar taint in Swedish Landrace and Yorkshire boars
Livestock Production Science, 1974Abstract 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.

Social effects and boar taint: significance for production of slaughter boars (Sus scrofa).
Journal of Animal Science, 2000A study was conducted to elucidate the effects of social factors on the concentrations of boar taint substances, androstenone and skatole, in boars. The factors included dominance (social rank) and the effects of strongly tainted animals on other members of the group.

Immunization of pigs against the boar taint steroid androstenone
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1984Tissue concentrations of androstenone were measured in untreated control pigs and pigs immunized against 5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one. Results confirmed that active immunization of male pigs against androstenone is unlikely to prevent the problem of "boar taint" in the carcass meat.

Threshold Detection of Boar Taint Chemicals Using Parasitic Wasps
Journal of Food Science, 2012Abstract: Surgical castration has been long used to prevent consumers from experiencing taint in meat from male pigs, which is a large problem in the pig husbandry industry. Due to obvious animal welfare issues, the EU now wants an alternative for castration, suggesting an urgent need for novel methods of boar ...

Profiling of boar taint by nontargeted metabolomics
2013In 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.
