Sensory characteristics of meat and meat products from entire male pigs

Meat Science, 2017
The 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.

Review on keeping entire male pigs

2023
The practice of surgical castration raises concerns regarding animal welfare. Raising entire or intact male pigs is an alternative to castration. In addition to offering an alternative to an aversive treatment, entire males offer several advantages in terms of improved feed efficiency, reduced feed intake and enhanced protein deposition.

Entire male pig production in Europe

Animal Production Science, 2015
In 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

Quality of meat from entire male pigs

Food Research International, 1995
Abstract This paper reviews the meat quality characteristics of meat from entire male pigs. The advantages and disadvantages of meat from entire male pigs are discussed. The areas requiring further study are emphasized. Entire males, compared to other genders, have a slightly lower dressing percentage (2–2.5%) but higher lean content (5%).

Detection of endogenous boldenone in the entire male horses

Journal of Chromatography B, 2004
Boldenone (1,2-dehydrotestosterone) is a common veterinary anabolic agent. Its structure is very similar to testosterone. Testosterone is endogenous in the horse, whereas there has been no report concerning the detection of endogenous boldenone. This paper reports the direct observation of sulphate conjugate of boldenone in equine urine from entires ...

Advanced‐sectioned images obtained by microsectioning of the entire male body

Clinical Anatomy, 2021
AbstractRealistic two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) applications for anatomical studies are being developed from true‐colored sectioned images. We generated advanced‐sectioned images of the entire male body and verified that anatomical structures of both normal and abnormal shapes could be visualized in them.

SENSORY CHARACTERIZATION OF BOAR TAINT IN ENTIRE MALE PIGS

Journal of Sensory Studies, 2000
ABSTRACTBoar 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.
