  • Title: Immunization of pigs against the boar taint steroid androstenone.
    Author: Daniel MJ, Shenoy EV, Box PG.
    Journal: J Comp Pathol; 1984 Apr; 94(2):319-21. PubMed ID: 6736316.
    Abstract:
    Tissue concentrations of androstenone were measured in untreated control pigs and pigs immunized against 5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one. Results confirmed that active immunization of male pigs against androstenone is unlikely to prevent the problem of "boar taint" in the carcass meat.
