Abstract: Boar taint is a meat quality issue characterized by an off-odour or off-flavour in pork caused primarily by the accumulation of androstenone in the fat, but sensory estimates of boar taint do not always correlate… read more here.

Abstract: Characterisation of genetic variants affecting genome-wide gene expression levels (expression quantitative trait loci or eQTLs) in pig testes may improve our understanding of genetic architecture of boar taint (an animal welfare trait) and helps in… read more here.

DOI: 10.2754/avb202392020181
Abstract: The problem of boar taint has recently become a frequent topic due to the ban on surgical castration of piglets without anaesthesia. Genetic selection based on markers that affect the molecular synthesis and degradation of… read more here.
