Entire male pig production in Europe
Animal Production Science, 2015In Europe the proportion of male pigs that are left ‘entire’ has been high for many years in the British Isles and Iberian Peninsula, and has recently increased in The Netherlands and to a lesser extent in Germany and France. Various European Union partners agreed in 2010 on a road map to abandon piglet castration by 1 January 2018. Despite significant

Animal, 2009 The objective of the study was to compare growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality and fatty acid composition of the adipose tissue of group-penned barrows, immunocastrated boars and entire males. Furthermore, the effect of housing of entire males on the aforementioned parameters was evaluated. At 55.2 days of age, 52 Swiss Large White

SENSORY CHARACTERIZATION OF BOAR TAINT IN ENTIRE MALE PIGS
Journal of Sensory Studies, 2000ABSTRACTBoar taint has been associated with the pork from entire males. Sensory profiles have been carried out in several studies showing the multidimensional property of boar taint. However, no agreement on the number and kind of descriptors has been reached.

Suppression of androstenone in entire male pigs by anabolic preparations
Livestock Production Science, 2001At an age of 19 weeks and an average weight of 80.5 kg, four boars each were implanted i.m. with two doses of eitherSynovex-HÒ (SH; total dose 400 mg testosterone propionate140 mg oestradiol benzoate) or Synovex PlusÒ (SP; total dose400 mg trenbolone acetate156 mg oestradiol benzoate), respectively.
