Review: Molecular Genetic Markers Associated with Boar Taint - Could Molecular Genetics Contribute to Its Reduction?

Original language description

Boar taint is an unpleasant meat odour or taste occurring in uncastrated male pigs usually. Naturally occurring compounds - androstenone, skatole and indole - and their accumulation in the adipose tissue of entire boars cause the perceptible boar taint. Individual levels or combination of these compounds lead to perception of boar taint observed during culinary process and pork consumption. The ban on surgical castration based on EU legislation makes it necessary to find a solution that enables our producers to adapt to these new conditions and ensure their competitiveness. Alternative options include the use of molecular genetic markers that affect the levels of androstenone and skatole in pig adipose tissue by Marker Assisted Selection (MAS). The aim of this review is to provide overview in recent facts in the field of molecular genetics and possibility in boar taint reduction solution.
