Skatole originates from microbial processing of tryptophan in the large intestine of pigs and accumulates in adipose tissue. Formation may be inhibited by the anti-apoptotic function of butyrate formed out of raw potato starch. Two groups of pigs (each consisting of gilts and barrows) were fed from
Resistant starch (RS) intake leads to a reduction of apoptosis in the pig colon and thus to a reduction of skatole in the carcass. To determine the minimal amount of RS which is required for the effect, diets with varying amounts (20, 30 and 40%) of RS were fed to barrows and gilts. Controls were
Cytochromes P4502E1 (CYP2E1) and P4502A6 (CYP2A6) catalyse metabolic reactions of skatole and indole metabolism. The objectives of this study were as follows: to evaluate whether activities of CYP2E1 and CYP2A6 in pigs of two live weights (LW) differ between males and females; to investigate whether
The effects of potato starch, isolated from Snowden (SD) and Kitahime (KH) varieties, on cecal fermatation properties in rats were evaluated. In high-amylose cornstarch (HAS), SD and KH groups, cecal acetate and total short-chain fatty acid concentrations were increased and cecal pH was lowered
Evidence exists that butyrate inhibits apoptosis of colon crypt cells in vivo so that less tryptophan from cell debris is available for skatole formation by microbes in the pig colon. In this study, potato starch containing a high proportion of resistant starch was fed to test the hypothesis that
In Europe there is increasing concern about the common practice of surgical castration of piglets without anaesthesia. One possible alternative to completely avoid castration is entire male pig production. Thus, the objective of the study was to compare the growth performance, carcass
Odor emission from swine facilities is determined by microbial breakdown of amino acids or carbohydrates in the pig colon. It was the aim to influence apoptosis and thus amino acid availability for odor formation by feeding resistant starch (300 g kg(-1) feed) over the whole fattening period to 40
In the fattening of male pigs, boar odour is a major problem with regard to the acceptance of the meat by consumers. Skatole can be one cause. Tryptophan from non-digested feed ingredients and intestinal cell debris can be the precursor in skatole formation. Lawsonia intracellularis, one of the most
This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of reducing boar taint in boars (Piétrain×Hybrid) by addition of different feed ingredients (raw potato starch (RPS) 10%, raw potato starch 10%+wheat bran 5% (RPS+WB), lupins 10%, inulin 5%, clinoptilolite 1%) to a standard diet over a period of 4-6 weeks
Beside surgical castration possible alternatives helping to reduce the incidence of boar taint in cooked pork are rearing conditions, immunocastration and feeding strategies for entire males known to lower the skatole levels. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of these alternatives on
