Nutritional Influences on Skatole Formation and Skatole Metabolism in the Pig
Animals, 2012 Skatole is a tryptophan (TRP) metabolite with fecal odor. Together with the testicular steroid androstenone it is regarded as a main determinant of boar taint, even if elevated concentrations of skatole occur occasionally in gilts and barrows.

Advances in microbial degradation of skatole: A review
Current Research in Microbial SciencesIn recent years, foul odors have led to widespread public complaints and have become a prominent issue in the field of environmental protection. Skatole, as one of the important components of foul odors, is a decomposition product of tryptophan in the ...

Skatole (3-Methylindole) Is a Partial Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Agonist and Induces CYP1A1/2 and CYP1B1 Expression in Primary Human Hepatocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Skatole (3-methylindole) is a product of bacterial fermentation of tryptophan in the intestine. A significant amount of skatole can also be inhaled during cigarette smoking.

Animals, 2021 To reduce the risk of boar taint, intact male piglets are immuno- or surgically castrated. One alternative is reducing skatole by adding skatole reducing or adsorbing substances to the boars’ diet.

Screening of skatole-degrading bacteria and control of human fecal odor by compound bacteria
Annals of Microbiology, 2023 Purpose The biodegradation of skatole was used as a starting point in this study, and existing strains of degrading NH3 and H2S in the laboratory were combined to create a composite deodorant.

The use of sugar beet pulp in pig diet to control skatole analysed by HPLC quantification method [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2023 This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a finishing diet added with sugar beet pulp to reduce backfat skatole of entire male pigs, using the optimised high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method.

Identification of the novel candidate genes and variants in boar liver tissues with divergent skatole levels using RNA deep sequencing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Boar taint is the unpleasant odour of meat derived from non-castrated male pigs, caused by the accumulation of androstenone and skatole in fat. Skatole is a tryptophan metabolite produced by intestinal bacteria in gut and catabolised in liver. Since boar

IMPLEMENTATION OF GENOMIC INFORMATION IN SELECTION OF BOARS ON SKATOLE AND ANDROSTENONE CONCENTRATIONS [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2015 Genomic predictors offer an opportunity to overcome the limitations of classical selection against boar taint, and this study evaluated different approaches to obtain such predictors. Samples from 941 pigs were included in a design which was dominated by
