How to reduce boar taint in pig carcasses

In France, the ban on castration of pigs without pain relief, i.e. without anesthesia, has been in force since January 1, 2022, and this has led to the production of entire male pigs. The main difficulty with this type of production lies in the risk of unpleasant odors being present in the meat from these animals.

Discovery of sex-determining region on pig Y chromosome may have applications in preventing boar taint

This discovery of SRY as the main switch for sex determination in pigs may provide an alternative for surgical castration in pig production, preventing boar taint.

Influence of the inflammatory status of entire male pigs on their pubertal development and fat androstenone

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a subclinical inflammation on the pubertal development of boars and hence on fat androstenone.

Comparison of meat quality parameters in surgical castrated versus vaccinated against gonadotrophin-releasing factor male and female Iberian pigs reared in free-ranging conditions

Vaccination in females did not alter carcass and meat quality, and specific interests should consider reproductive behavior in free-range conditions.

Effect of sex of the pig on the sensory characteristics of the Biceps femoris and Semimembranosus muscles in dry‐cured hams

Organoleptic ham criteria for immunocastrated males hams were equivalent to those found for surgically castrated males and gilts hams, demonstrating the efficacy of vaccination in these study conditions.
