Abstract:
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) of salivary C19-delta-16-steroids (16-androstenes) in six Lacombe and seven Yorkshire mature boars (1 wk pre-castration and 12 wk postcastration) plus 13 intact control boars (seven Lacombe and six Yorkshire) was tested as a "noninvasive" method to estimate boar taint in porcine fat. Salivary 16-androstenes (P < 0.05) decreased 4–5 wk after castration, fluctuated over the next 7 wk and were still 27.5% of initial levels by the 12th wk, when boar taint in the fat had decreased to undetectable levels. In conclusion, the RIA measurement of 16-androstenes in saliva is not a reliable indirect method of estimating boar taint levels in fat. Key words: Boar taint, castration, 16-androstenes, salivary steroids

Abstract:
Boar taint is caused by the accumulation of androstenone and skatole and other indoles in the fat; this is regulated by the balance between synthesis and degradation of these compounds and can be affected by a number of factors, including environment and management practices, sexual maturity, nutrition, and genetics. Boar taint can be controlled by immunocastration, but this practice has not been accepted in some countries. Genetics offers a long-term solution to the boar taint problem via selective breeding or genome editing. A number of short-term strategies to control boar taint have been proposed, but these can have inconsistent effects and there is too much variability between breeds and individuals to implement a blanket solution for boar taint. Therefore, we propose a precision livestock management approach to developing solutions for controlling taint. This involves determining the differences in metabolic processes and the genetic variations that cause boar taint in specific groups of pigs and using this information to design custom treatments based on the cause of boar taint. Genetic, proteomic or metabolomic profiling can then be used to identify and implement effective solutions for boar taint for specific populations of animals.

Abstract:
Abstract. Title ofthe paper: Boar fattening with different protein supply in the diet In the literature numerous studies are found that proof a superior fattening performance and carcass composition for boars compared to female and castrated pigs. The results in the feeding experiment presented here do not confirm this to the same extend. Even with a high protein and lysine supplementation growth performance of boars was lower than in females. Lean content was determined by FOM grading which might underestimate the boars. Lean to fat ratio (areas of M. long dorsi and back fat) however was significantly different between castrates and all boar groups due to the reduced fat deposition. Sensoric tests detected significant boar taint in the majority ofthe samples from male carcasses. Considering the tendency on the market for increasing carcass weights and the risk of boar taint in heavier pigs boar fattening can not be recommended in Germany.

Abstract:
AbstractIn most parts of the world, male pigs are castrated shortly after birth to prevent the production of meat with an unpleasant odour called ‘boar taint’. However, public concerns regarding surgical castration are on the increase and it is becoming an important animal welfare issue due to the pain associated with the process. In addition, pork production from entire males is more desirable as it is 5-12% more efficient than that from castrates. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate genetic opportunities to stop castration and produce boar-taint-free pork from entire males as a long-term cost-effective solution to the problem. The main compounds responsible for boar taint are androstenone and skatole. The genetic aspects of these two main boar-taint components were investigated in purebred pigs of a commercial sire line as well as crossbreds of three sire lines. The comparison of crossbreds suggests that significant genetic differences can be expected in the market hogs due to different sire line choices. Heritabilities for the three components ranged from 0.25 to 0.64. Their genetic correlations with production traits were close to zero or favourable. Model calculations using these parameters suggest that it is possible to reduce the concentrations of the main boar-taint components below thresholds for boar taint. This way, pork can be produced from males without castration and problems of boar taint can be eliminated in approximately four generations of genetic selection.

Abstract:
Abstract Castration is a highly invasive procedure performed on male pigs within the first few days after birth. Castration reduces aggressive and sexual behaviours and, more importantly, eliminates the incidence of a meat quality issue called boar taint. Androstenone, one of the boar taint causing compounds, is a steroid hormone produced during puberty in boars, and also during a spike of testicular steroidogenesis at 21 days of age. This peak is thought to mature the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis; however, 21-day steroid concentrations have not previously been linked to the extent of boar taint development at slaughter. The objective of this research is to determine if androstenone concentrations at 21 days of age can predict boar taint development at slaughter. Crossbred [(YorkshireXLandrace)XDuroc] boars (n = 36) were raised in pens of two females and two males to average market slaughter weight. Blood was taken at 21 days and slaughter, backfat was collected at slaughter. Plasma and fat androstenone concentrations were measured by androstenone-specific ELISA. Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation and ANOVA. Boars &gt;120kg at slaughter showed positive correlation (R=0.54, P =.007) between 21-day plasma androstenone and fat androstenone concentrations at slaughter, and tended to correlate (R=0.40, P =.056) between 21-day plasma androstenone and plasma androstenone concentrations at slaughter. Boars yet to reach 120kg by slaughter did not show correlation (R=0.2, P = .2) between 21-day plasma androstenone and slaughter androstenone concentrations. There was no correlation between age and weight at slaughter, and plasma and fat androstenone concentrations were not different (P &gt;.05) between groups above and below 120kg at slaughter. These results suggest that 21-day plasma androstenone concentrations may be indicative of androstenone accumulation in the fat and plasma if pigs are over 120kg at slaughter. This can aid with identifying boars at risk of developing boar taint early so that solutions such as immunocastration can be implemented.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTIn a consumer trial the assessments of 874 cooks and 5034 family members were analysed. Forty-one boar and 40 barrow carcasses were selected in a commercial abattoir so that the two sexes were similar in carcass weight, fat thickness and muscle pH. A boar sample including a higher proportion of tainted carcasses was selected. It was divided into three boar taint-level subgroups according to their 5a-androst- 16-ene-3-one (androstenone) concentration in fat (Jig androstenone per g fat) as follows: L < 0·5 (no. = 17), M 0·5 to 1·0 (no. = 13) and H > 1·0 (no. = 11). From each carcass, loin/rib chops were prepared and cooked hams, brine-cured bellies and Spanish dry-cured hams were processed. An analysis of variance was used to estimate the effects of sex and boar taint levels. Cooks (P < 0·05) and family members (P < 0·01) reported a higher level of odour for boar chops. A higher level of unfavourable responses to odour and flavour were found in the H taint-level subgroup. Also, the H taint-level group produced the highest proportion of negative judgements on overall acceptability in comparison with normal purchases. The response of cooks to odour from brine-cured bellies was significantly affected by sex (boar and barrow). For bellies, odour, overall acceptability and comparison with normal purchases were significantly affected by the boar taint-level subgroups (P < 005). The treatments had no significant effect on any quality question related to boar taint in cooked ham. However, boar taint level significantly affected the assessments of flavour and overall acceptability from Spanish dry-cured ham (P < 0·01). A higher proportion of negative responses was found in the H taint-level subgroup. The trial indicates that boar meat can produce an unfavourable response from consumers for fresh meat (chops) or products needing heating prior to consumption (brine-cured bellies). However, in cooked products with hot processing and cold consumption (cooked ham) no negative effect from using boar meat was observed. To produce Spanish dry-cured ham, androstenone quantification should be carried out to avoid consumer dissatisfaction.

Abstract:
Trained expert panels are used routinely in boar taint research, with varying protocols for training of panelists and scoring methods. We describe a standardized process for training and scoring, to contribute to standardize the olfactory detection of boar taint. Three experiments are described in which we (1) evaluate the importance of training and the effect of the previous sample, (2) determine detection thresholds on strips and in fat for our panel, and (3) test priming panelists before boar taint evaluation. For the final evaluation of boar taint, we propose a consistent three-person evaluation scoring on a 0–4 scale using a final mean score of 0.5 as the cut-off for boar taint. This gave an optimal sensitivity of 0.81 and a specificity of 0.56 compared to chemical cut-offs. Even limited training proved useful, but priming assessors with strips did not improve the evaluation of fat samples. Detection thresholds were higher in fat compared to strips, except for indole. We recommend panelists to always smell a non-tainted control sample after a tainted one as a ‘reset’ mechanism, before continuing. For longitudinal studies, we additionally advise to set up an expert panel with a fixed number of assessors performing each evaluation in duplicate.

Abstract:
Abstract Boar taint is a meat quality issue characterized by an off-odour or off-flavour in pork caused by the accumulation of androstenone in the fat. Our previous work demonstrated that androstenone binds non-specifically to albumin in the plasma and suggested that the binding affinity of androstenone might vary between individual animals, which may affect the subsequent development of boar taint. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to characterize the binding of androstenone in the plasma of animals with high and low fat androstenone concentrations to determine the effect of androstenone binding affinity on the development of boar taint. Plasma and backfat samples were obtained from 5-month-old terminal cross [Duroc x (Landrace x Yorkshire)] (n = 8) boars. An androstenone specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine animals with high (n = 4) or low (n = 4) fat androstenone concentrations. The plasma from each boar was incubated with radiolabeled [3H]-androstenone in the presence or absence of excess unlabeled androstenone. Excess unlabeled androstenone created competition for binding sites allowing the displacement of [3H]-androstenone from albumin to be quantified. Incubations were analyzed by a novel high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method we previously developed to assess androstenone binding. Statistical analysis was conducted using a two-way ANOVA. The plasma albumin concentrations were similar across individual boars; however, the percentage of androstenone that could be displaced from albumin in boars with high fat androstenone concentrations ranged from 7.1 ± 2.4% to 21.9 ± 5.2%, and was significantly lower (P = 0.01) than the percentage of androstenone displaced in the animals with low fat androstenone concentrations. These results suggest that the binding affinity of androstenone is inversely related with fat androstenone concentrations, demonstrating for the first time that the transport of androstenone in the plasma may contribute to the development of boar taint.

Abstract:
The nuclear receptors PXR, CAR, and FXR are activated by various ligands and function as transcription factors to control the expression of genes that regulate the synthesis and metabolism of androstenone and skatole. These compounds are produced in entire male pigs and accumulate in the fat to cause the development of a meat quality issue known as boar taint. The extent of this accumulation is influenced by the synthesis and hepatic clearance of androstenone and skatole. For this reason, PXR, CAR, and FXR-mediated signaling pathways have garnered interest as potential targets for specialized treatments designed to reduce the development of boar taint. Recent research has also identified several metabolites produced by gut microbes that act as ligands for these nuclear receptors (e.g., tryptophan metabolites, short-chain fatty acids, bile acids); however, the connection between the gut microbiome and boar taint development is not clear. In this review, we describe the nuclear receptor signaling pathways that regulate the synthesis and metabolism of boar taint compounds and outline the genes involved. We also discuss several microbial-derived metabolites and dietary additives that are known or suspected nuclear receptor ligands and suggest how these compounds could be used to develop novel treatments for boar taint.

Abstract:
This thesis presents the evaluation of the novel electrochemical sensor and biosensor technology developed for the direct analysis of boar taint compounds in adipose tissue (European Patent 2966441). Gas chromatographic methods and extraction procedures were adapted for the evaluation of the novel sensor technology. The methodologies for the non-destructive sensor technology were evaluated by analysing stored porcine adipose tissue, the samples were subsequently analysed by the destructive gas-chromatographic methodologies for comparison. The results from two analytical methods correlated well for both compounds of interest in a laboratory environment. Consequently, the sensor and biosensor were integrated into a dual system and evaluated in the laboratory. The dual electrochemical system was optimised for simultaneous measurement. The prototype was taken to an abattoir, the subcutaneous adipose tissue of carcasses were analysed online then the section was removed and stored before analysis via the laboratory based extraction and gas-chromatographic analysis procedures. The quantitative data correlation indicates that this technology is viable for its proposed industrial application. Other endogenous compounds in boar tissue were also identified prior to sample analysis during a literature review. The reported electrochemical behaviour and concentration ranges of these compounds were used to identify compounds which could result in the novel technology displaying false positive or false negative responses. During this preliminary investigation the identified compounds did not respond at the novel technology in a similar manner to the analytes of interest under physiological conditions. However, under basic electrolyte conditions an anodic response for 3 B-vitamin compounds was observed. As a secondary study to the boar taint analysis a simple voltammetric assay was developed to exploit this behaviour and applied to the analysis of a food product and pharmaceutical supplement.

Abstract:
The new legislative situation raises once again the question which alternatives exist in order to avoid boar taint exist, if piglet castration would be forbidden and fattening of boars would be a common practise. The aim this study was to contrast approaches from the large number of new and elder literatures with the subjects of reducing and eliminating boar taint and to assess the effectiveness of these methods to avoid boar taint. For the first time, these findings were presented in a summarised and concentrated form. After reviewing 857 titles out of the year 1911 up to 2015, 664 sources of literature were chosen from all fields of pig breeding, housing and feeding, application of drugs, meat processing and the answer of consumers give a comprehensive understanding on the term of boar taint and the alternatives of piglet castration. There is no single strategy against boar taint being exposed after this work. There are some approaches possible: the immunocastration that gained acceptance in Australia and Belgium is an animal welfare friendly and in practice feasibly method. But it needs an inspection for boar taint at the slaughter line. The fattening of young boars, supported by Switzerland, could be improved by an optimised housing and feeding strategy, as well as the use of breeding lines for low boar taint. The processing of boar meat to premium products is possible. However, the amount of tainted boar meat coming into processing is still not clarified. It remains to be seen, how Germany will solve the problem of piglet castration.

From the beginning of the century, advances in genotyping enabled the development of new classes of markers, among which stand out single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Due to the availability of these markers it has been proposed genomic selection, consisting of simultaneous analysis of large number of markers distributed throughout the genome; its success depends on the method used for prediction of genomic breeding values. The objective of this study was to compare the methods RR-BLUP and Bayesian LASSO to calculate estimated genomic breeding values (GEBVs) and also to determine which method provides more accurate results for genomic selection in pigs. A total of 622 boarswere genotyped for 2,500 SNPs, and phenotyped for the following traits: concentration of androstenone, concentration of skatole, backfat thickness and loin depth. The R software packages rrBLUP and BLR were used respectively for the implementation of the RR-BLUP method and Bayesian LASSO method. Genetic correlations between the traits were calculated by the correlation between the vectors of GEBVs. The Bayesian LASSO method reached higher accuracy values in three traits: concentration of androstenone (0.65), concentration of skatole (0.58) and loin depth (0.33), and RR-BLUP was more accurate (0.61) for backfat thickness. Genetic correlations calculated, show that exists a small genetic correlation (0.03) between backfat thickness and loin depth. Between the concentrations of androstenone and skatole also exists a genetic correlation (0.24)that is consistent with results from other studies. Thus, concerning to the estimates of effects of markers, for all traits the found peaks were in regions where are reported QTLs inPIGQTLdatabase and other studies.
A partir do início do século XXI, avanços na genotipagem permitiram o desenvolvimento de novas classes de marcadores, entre os quais se destacam os polimorfismos de nucleotídeos simples (SNPs). Devido à disponibilidade desses marcadores, foi proposta a Seleção Genômica, que consiste em uma análise simultânea de um grande número de marcadores distribuídos ao longo do genoma, cujo sucesso depende do método utilizado de predição de valores genéticos genômicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os métodos RR-BLUP e LASSO Bayesiano para cálculo dos valores genéticos genômicos estimados (GEBVs) e determinar qual método apresenta resultados mais acurados para a seleção genômica em suínos. Foram genotipados 622 suínos machos não castrados para 2.500 SNPs, e fenotipados para as seguintes características: concentração de androstenona, concentração de skatol, espessura de gordura subcutânea e profundidade de lombo. Os pacotes rrBLUP e BLR do software R foram utilizados respectivamente para a implementação do método RR-BLUP e LASSO Bayesiano. As correlações genéticas entre as característicasforam calculadas por meio da correlação entre os vetores de GEBVs. O método LASSO Bayesiano apresentou valores mais elevados de acurácia em três características: concentração de androstenona (0,65), concentração deskatol (0,58), e profundidade de lombo (0,33), e o RR-BLUP foi mais acurado para espessura de gordura subcutânea (0,61). As correlações genéticas calculadas, mostram que existe uma pequena correlação genética entre espessura de gordura subcutânea e profundidade de lombo (0,03). Entre as concentrações de androstenona e skatol também existe correlação genética (0,24) que é consistente com os resultados de outros estudos. Assim, com relação às estimativas de efeitos de marcadores, para todas as características os picos encontrados estão em regiões onde se encontram QTLs relatados no PIGQTLdatabase e em outros estudos.

Abstract:
Piglets have been traditionally been surgically castrated to avoid boar taint risk and aggression and mounting behaviour. However, castration without anaesthesia and analgesia induces pain and has become a controversial practice on welfare grounds. Therefore, alternatives to surgical pig castration that guarantee proper meat quality and welfare, are required if castration is to be abandoned. This chapter deals with the main alternatives which are commercially available at present: (1) Raising entire males and (2) Immunocastration. Sex sorting could be another possibility, if technological and implementation obstacles could be overcome. The chapter summarises the effects on welfare and meat quality of the available alternatives, as well as dealing with other aspects such as societal and farmers’ acceptance of those alternatives. The nutritional, management and breeding strategies, which are implemented when raising entire males to enhance welfare and meat quality are described. The methodologies being used or under development to assess boar taint risk on line or at line are presented. Further reading and future perspectives end the chapter.
