[QUOTE="Blackdirt Cowboy, post: 2569966, member: 108138"] Sure, their diet absolutely can affect the way they taste, but it has nothing at all to do with boar taint. Androstenone is a testosterone derivative secreted by the testes of sexually active male pigs and skatole is a byproduct of the breakdown of the amino acid, tryptophan, in the large intestine. Less than 20% of boar hogs killed for domestic production are not affected by this because they are killed before they reach puberty. But wild hogs reach puberty and become sexually active way earlier than domesticated hogs and it’s estimated that 80% of the population is affected. This is a real problem with boar hogs and a lot of money has been spent in the pork industry to lower the incidence of it. It’s not made up internet lore. [/QUOTE]
