Abstract

See full text

Genetic markers are disclosed with a useful association with boar taint that can be used for screening and selection of pigs for those with more favorable boar taint characteristics associated with androstenone/skatole metabolism. Specific polymorphic alleles of the 3αHSD, 3βHSD, CYP17A1, CYP2A, CYP2E1, CYTB5, BAC-CT and/or SULT1A1 genes are disclosed for tests to screen pigs to determine those more likely to produce desired boar taint traits.
