Abstract
Large variations in the level of 5α-androstenone in fat from different boars have been found. No significant difference in the level of 5α-androstenone was detected in fat from boars selected for high rate of gain and low back fat (HP-line), low rate of gain and high degree of fatness (LP-line) and a control group maintained without deliberate selection (GL-line). In boars used in artificial insemination service relatively high levels of 5α-androstenone in fat were observed, and in these animals a significant (P < 0.05) positive regression of 5α-androstenone level on age was found. Positive but non-significant regression coefficients were found between number of services which the boars had performed and level of 5α-androstenone in fat from the same animals.Keywords
