Abstract：As China’s consumption level has risen in recent years, the demand for healthy meat products is increasing. Pig stress can lead to pale, soft and exudative (PSE) pork, which seriously affects the appearance and taste of pork. This paper summarizes the causes of stress in pig breeding and slaughtering, the impact of stress on pigs and pork quality, and the methods to alleviate stress, in order to reduce the occurrence of stress in pig breeding and slaughtering and improve the quality of pork.
