Abstract
A method for detecting boar taint in a pig sample is provided. Anti-skatole antibodies are combined in a reaction buffer with a pig sample to form a reaction mixture. After incubating, the amount of skatole-antibody complex formation is determined. In a particular embodiment, the method utilizes solid substrate-affixed antibodies in a competitive inhibition assay with an enzyme-labeled skatole analogue. Kits facilitating the method are also provided.
