The Economic Impact of German Pig Carcass Pricing Systems and Risk Scenarios for Boar Taint on the Profitability of Pork Production with Immunocastrates and Boars

Agriculture, 2019
From 2021 onwards, surgical castration of male piglets without pain relief will be banned in Germany. In Europe, stakeholders have committed themselves to end piglet castration from 2018 onwards.

Unusual MRI features in a case of presumed canine tick‐borne meningoencephalomyelitis

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 7‐year‐old, standard, wire‐haired dachshund presented with quickly progressive multifocal central nervous system signs, which localised to the brainstem and cervical myelopathy, including reduced cervical and thoracic limb muscle tone and withdrawal reflexes. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral, approximately symmetric, T2‐weighted

GnRH-Based Immunocastration Vaccines: Comparative Analysis and Role in Boar Taint Reduction

Vaccines
Boar taint is a persistent challenge in pork production, caused primarily by the accumulation of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue. It affects 5–40% of uncastrated male pigs and is perceived negatively by a substantial proportion of consumers ...

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

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
