Proteomic analysis of the excretory-secretory products from larval stages of Ascaris suum reveals high abundance of glycosyl hydrolases [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are socioeconomically important and widespread parasites of humans and pigs, respectively. The excretory-secretory (ES) molecules produced and presented at the parasite-host interface during the different

Effect of faecal soiling on skatole and androstenone occurrence in organic entire male pigs

Animal, 2015
Production of entire male pigs could be a future strategy for organic pig production. However, production of entire males leads to increased risk of carcasses with elevated boar taint levels.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Einfluss von Genotyp und Fütterung in der ökologischen Mast intakter männlicher Schweine. I: Ebergeruch [PDF]

, 2017
Fattening of entire male pigs is a useful alternative to piglet castration but the problem of boar taint is still unresolved. The object of the present study was to test the effect of (i) two different terminal sire lines (Danish Duroc, Du vs.

Nutritional Effects on Boar Taint in Entire Male Pigs: A Review [PDF]

Scientia Agriculturae Bohemica, 2016
Abstract Boar taint is one of topical problems in fattening pigs. It is caused by two main compounds — androstenone and skatole. Androstenone is a steroid feromone, which is synthesized and metabolized in liver and testes. Skatole is produced by intestinal bacteria by metabolization of trypthophan.

Olfactory evaluation of boar taint: effect of factors measured at slaughter and link with boar taint compounds

Animal, 2017
There is a commitment by the European pig sector to ban surgical castration of male piglets in the European Union in 2018. One alternative to castration is to raise entire male pigs, with an increased risk of boar taint.

Slaughtering of entire male pigs seen from the slaughterhouse perspective

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
AbstractSeveral challenges need to be taken into account before a full transition to slaughtering entire male pigs. To optimize welfare, entire male pigs should spend as short a time as possible in the pick-up facilities at the farm. At the slaughterhouse, there is no need to control the ratio between genders in the pens, as this has only minor effects
