“…It could also be verified that classifications are usually established regarding the androstenone content according to the range of values, and those samples which presented values below 0.5µg/g were considered as low, those with concentrations below 1µg/g as medium, those above 1µg/g as high, and samples with concentrations above 2µg/g were very high (Bonneau, Chevillon, 2012). The samples were classified this way and, despite no sensorial analysis having been carried out (important for the next assessments) it was aimed to infer the intensity of the sexual odor in the assessed samples according to their respective concentrations of the compounds skatole and androstenone.…”

“…Although there are reports that the absence of skatole in the sample causes the assessment of sexual odor not to be well differentiated from the samples of animals without this odor (females) (Bonneau and Chevillon, 2012), it is worth highlighting that even in low concentrations of this compound, but with high concentrations of androstenone, the odor becomes more perceptible and, consequently, there will be a lower acceptance by consumers, due the perceptible presence of odor and male taste.…”

“…In relation to the concentration of androstenone in the samples of the NSS group, some samples with values considered as being high can be noticed (Bonneau, Chevillon, 2012), which demonstrated that the method was not effective in some animals (in 19 samples from the 37 assessed). This fact reinforces the need to carry out more assessments of this methodology and its protocols, so as to optimize its use and yield of success in the application of the product.…”

A non-surgical sterilant (NSS) was used with the objective of assessing the zootechnical performance, carcass and meat quality, and hormone levels. 90 male piglets were selected with birthweights varying between 1.5kg to 2.0kg. The control group was constituted of 45 males castrated by the conventional surgical method, at the seventh day of age, and the treated group was constituted of 45 males castrated with NSS (active principle of zinc gluconate in the concentration of 26.2mg/mL associated to the dimethyl sulfoxide at 0.5%), with the application of the first dose on the seventh day of age and the second dose on the fourteenth day of age. The zootechnical assessments were carried out on the farm and consisted: weight gain in the periods per animal and feed conversion. The slaughter of the animals and the assessment of the carcass and meat quality and hormone levels were carried out in a slaughterhouse and the municipality of Campinas (SP). The study demonstrated that the use of NSS was a viable alternative in relation to the zootechnical performance and the carcass quality. In relation to the meat quality there was no significant difference in the majority of the assessed parameters.Keywords: swine, zinc gluconate, androstenone, feed conversion, carcass yield RESUMO Foi utilizado esterilizante não cirúrgico (ENC) com

Seeing the Animal: On the Ethical Implications of De-animalization in Intensive Animal Production Systems

This article discusses the notion that the invisibility of the animalness of the animal constitutes a fundamental obstacle to change within current production systems. It is discussed whether housing animals in environments that resemble natural habitats could lead to a re-animalization of the animals, a higher appreciation of their moral significance, and thereby higher standards of animal welfare. The basic claim is that experiencing the animals in their evolutionary and environmental context would make it harder to objectify animals as mere bioreactors and production systems. It is argued that the historic objectification of animals within intensive animal production can only be reversed if animals are given the chance to express themselves as they are and not as we see them through the tunnel visions of economy and quantifiable welfare assessment parameters.

“…In this context, the production of meat from entire males may appears to have a promising future (Bonneau & Chevillon, 2012) if it is adequately commercialized within the processed pig meat sector (Bonneau, 1998;Gunn et al, 2004), since the boar tainted meat is better accepted in processed products than in retail cuts (Bañón et al, 2003;Valeeva et al, 2009). Thus, an effective and specific strategy of masking boar taint in the pork processed products became a worthy aspect to investigate.…”

The EU is considering a future ban on surgical pig castration by 2018 which may affect markets and consumers preferences. This study analysed consumers' expected preference toward a masking strategy obtained from a mixture of spices and smoking of high level boar taint frankfurter sausages. In addition, we analysed the impact of the sensory experience on the nonobserved heterogeneity both at the scale and mean preferences. We carried out two Non- Results showed the appropriateness of the proposed masking strategy of boar meat for the processed meat industry in Spain. Consumers also declared their willingness to pay a premium for this flavours. The sensory experience has had impact on both the scale and preference heterogeneity. The degree of randomness and uncertainty of consumers decreased significantly in their final choice and the source of unobserved heterogeneity obtained from the scale become more independent.
