Organic acids in diets for entire male pigs

Livestock Science, 2007
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of organic acids in diets for entire male pigs on growth performance, composition of microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), on concentration of skatole and indole in digesta, plasma and adipose tissue, and concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in digesta.

Carcass and meat quality characteristics of immunocastrated male, surgically castrated male, entire male and female pigs

Meat Science, 2010
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 ...

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.

A Consumer Study of Danish Entire Male Pigs

1996
Former 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 ...

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.

Application of an electronic nose for measurements of boar taint in entire male pigs

Meat Science, 2006
An 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 ...
