From: Prevention of boar taint in pig production. Factors affecting the level of skatole
Effect of various dietary fibre sources on the concentration of skatole in blood plasma. The diets were: a control diet based on barley and soya bean (Cont), seven diets with the same basal composition as the control, but with addition of 100 g kg-1 of either raw potato starch (PS), fructooligosaccharides (FOS), lupins (LUP), barley hull meal (BHM), palm cake (PC), coconut cake (CC) or sugar beat pulp (SBP). All blood samples were taken 3 hours after the morning feeding. The control diet for each individual animal was given the value 100 and the other diets were related to this. The value for each fibre source represent three to four replicates with different animals.
