amount of Lawsonia intracellularis antigen are being studied. This antigen reduces the uptake of skatole into the fat of pigs, thus reducing the effect of boar taint. Another method used to address skatole concentration in fat tissue is supplementing the pig's diet with 3% chestnut wood extract. This method showed that intestinal skatole concentration decreased by more than 50%.

Applications

Skatole is the starting material used in the synthesis of:
*Atiprosin
