Most pigs do not have boar taint and it is rare by slaughter weight age. Androstenone (a male pheromone) is produced in the testes as male pigs reach puberty, while skatole (a byproduct of intestinal bacteria, or bacterial metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan) is produced in both male and female pigs.n some countries, such as Australia, pigs are slaughtered at a younger age. This is because the two natural substances that cause boar taint â androstenone and skatole â only start to accumulate in the fat of male pigs when they sexually mature.
