Breed differences in boar taint: relationship between tissue levels boar taint compounds and sensory analysis of taint.
A total of 228 intact male pigs form Duroc, Hampshire, Landrace, and Yorkshire breeds were used in the experiment. Samples of salivary gland and backfat were collected at slaughter for colorimetric assay of salivary and fat 16-androstene levels and fat skatole levels. Fat levels also were tested by a sensory panel using an R-index technique for detecting the presence of boar taint. The proporti...
متن کاملA performance test for boar taint compounds in live boars.
Genetically reducing boar taint using low-taint lines is considered the most sustainable and economic long-term alternative to surgical castration of male pigs. Owing to the high heritability of the main boar taint components (androstenone, skatole and indole), breeding is an excellent tool for reducing the number of tainted carcasses. To incorporate boar taint into breeding programmes, standar...
متن کاملEvaluation of various boar taint detection methods.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of various boar taint detection methods, measure the relationship between them and identify possible points of improvement for boar taint detection. The methods used to evaluate boar taint in the carcasses of 448 entire male pigs and 17 barrows were the hot iron method (n = 442), a standardised (n = 323) and home (n = 58) consumer meat-evalu...
متن کاملEffect of dietary chicory on boar taint.
Following preliminary screening and feeding trials on farms supplying a commercial abattoir, 360 entire male pigs were used to evaluate the effects of different percentages of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) on levels of boar taint compounds and sensory aspects in backfat. Pigs were fed 0, 3, 6 or 9% chicory in the diet, 30 pigs being sampled at 3 different times: initially to measure basal leve...
متن کاملDanish consumers’ sensitivity towards the boar taint compounds androstenone and skatole
A future production of pork including meat from entire males is a realistic scenario for the major pig producing countries. To ensure that no boar tainted meat reaches the consumers, the only reliable preventive method is to detect and sort out the boar tainted carcasses at the slaughterhouse. One of the prerequisite for sorting at the slaughterhouse is reliable sorting limits based on consumer...
