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 KW - Chicory roots KW - boar taint KW - pigs TI - Influence of chicory roots /Cichorium intybus L) on boar taint in entire male pigs and female pigs SP - 10015 AV - public EP - /RIS ER -
