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.

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).

Perceptual masking of boar taint in Swedish fermented sausages

Meat Science, 2009
Surgical castration of male piglets has traditionally been practiced to avoid development of boar taint in pork meat which can occur if entire male pigs are raised. Boar taint is commonly characterised as exhibiting the odour and flavour of urine and manure.

Boar Taint Detection Using Parasitoid Biosensors

Journal of Food Science, 2010
Abstract:  The off‐flavor boar taint associated with the substances skatole, androstenone, and possibly indole represents a significant problem in the pig husbandry industry. Boar taint may occur in meat from uncastrated sexually mature male pigs; consumers commonly show a strong aversion to tainted meat ...

Consumer studies on sensory acceptability of boar taint: A review

Meat Science, 2012
Boar taint can be found in meat from boars and affects consumer acceptability of pork. The aim of this review is: (1) to describe different aspects of the existing methodologies used in consumer studies when evaluating boar taint from a sensory point of view, (2) to draw conclusions on different studies regarding the acceptability of meat from entire ...

Social effects and boar taint: significance for production of slaughter boars (Sus scrofa).

Journal of Animal Science, 2000
A 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, 1984
Tissue 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.

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.
