        abstract = {It is known that pure inulin a fructooligosaccharide extracted from chicory roots can:
? reduce boar taint (skatole in backfat and blood)
? reduce parasite infection levels when added to specially composed experimental diets
? However, the entire chicory roots may, in comparison to inulin:
? reduce boar taint more effectively
? improve the taste of cooked meat from both male and female pigs
? be more effective against parasites when added to normal diet types
? contain secondary metabolites that add to the effect of the inulin
? be a cheaper solution}
