International audienceFollowing the cessation of piglet castration, genetic improvement of pig lines can help minimize the occurrence of the defect in meat quality called boar taint, which is developed by non-castrated males. Since pig breeds differ in their risk of developing boar taint, it is important to consider line-by-line selection by estimating genetic parameters of odorant compounds in relation to sexual development and production traits. The present study focused on French Landrace, one of the main French maternal lines. Approximately 1000 non-castrated males were raised and then slaughtered to measure growth performance, body composition and meat quality, including concentrations of the fat-odorant compounds androstenone and skat...
