Chicory fructans in pig diet reduce skatole in back fat of entire male pigs
Research in Veterinary Science, 2017Androstenone, skatole and indole are main compounds responsible for boar taint, an off-odour in meat of some entire male pigs. Several feed ingredients derived from chicory have been reported to reduce fat skatole levels, while results for indole are more contradictory.

Sensory characteristics of meat and meat products from entire male pigs
Meat Science, 2017The surgical castration of male piglets has traditionally been practised to prevent the development of boar taint in pork meat, but European rules aim to end this practice on a voluntary basis. This study represents a sensory characterization of the meat and meat products from entire male pigs.

Application of an electronic nose for measurements of boar taint in entire male pigs
Meat Science, 2006An electronic nose based on ion mobility spectrometry was used for boar taint measurements of entire male pig samples varying in androstenone and skatole levels (0.09-0.88μg/g fat and 0.01-0.26μg/g fat, respectively). Sensory perceptible boar taint (especially boar odour) was found to be more related to androstenone than to skatole, whereas a rancid ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of immunocastration on meat and carcass quality compared with meat from females, entire and surgically castrated males. One hundred and eighteen (LandracexDuroc)xPietrain crossbred pigs were assigned to four experimental groups: entire males (EM), females (FE), surgically castrated males (CM) and ...

A Benefit Cost Analysis of Entire Male Pig Immuno-castration
2022Consumers of fresh pork have long been aware of the risk of their pork purchases not meeting eating expectations due to unpleasant taste or smell or other unsatisfactory quality characteristics such as a lack of tenderness. Boar taint, or the risk of it, is one of the most important factors identified in surveys of consumers of pork as being ...

A Consumer Study of Danish Entire Male Pigs
1996Former studies of the unpleasant odour of meat from certain uncastrated male pigs have been based mainly on evaluations made by trained sensory panellists. This study analyses the effect of the two dominating male pig odour components, skatole and androstenone, on the evaluation of eating quality made in-home by consumers, thus bringing the analysis ...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hydrolysable tannin supplementation on morphology, cell proliferation and apoptosis in the intestine and liver of fattening boars. A total of 24 boars (Landrace × Large white) were assigned to four treatment groups: Control (fed commercial feed mixture) and three experimental groups fed the same diet ...
