description: 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
