The objective was to determine reference values of 5alpha-androstenone and skatole concentrations, of substances responsible for so called boar taint after fast fattening of boars, barrows and gilts. The concentration of 5alpha-androstenone was determined in blood serum in ng/l ml of serum, while skatole content was established in a fat sample in ng/l g of fat. The respective values for boars, gilts and barrows were on average 415, 78.0 and 91.0 ng/l ml of serum. The concentration of skatole (3-methylindole) was significantly higher in boars than in gilts and barrows (138.61 ng/l g of fat against 78.44 ng/g of fat in barrows and 75.97 ng/l g of fat in gilts).
