SIMPLE SUMMARY: Boar taint (BT) is an off-odor and off-flavor affecting pork caused by the accumulation in the tissues of uncastrated male pigs of three main compounds: androstenone, skatole, and indole. The reduction in BT compound accumulation by genetic selection is a viable strategy to stop surg...
