Androstenone By Germany Bng Tech Co. Ltd.

Our offering range of Androstenone (5I -androst-16-en-3-one) is a steroid found in both male and female sweat and urine. It is also found in boar's saliva, and in celery cytoplasm. Androstenone was the first mammalian pheromone to be identified. It is found in high concentrations in the saliva of male pigs, and, when sniffed by a female pig that is in heat, results in the female's assuming the mating stance. Androstenone is the active ingredient in BoarTaint, a commercial product sold to pig farmers to test sows for timing of artificial insemination.
