3. **Clean and Comfortable Housing**: Ensure pigs have clean and comfortable housing with enough space to move, rest, and engage in natural behaviors. Proper ventilation, bedding, and temperature control are essential for pig health and meat quality.
4. **Health Monitoring and Disease Prevention**: Implement a comprehensive health monitoring program to detect and prevent diseases early. This includes vaccinations, regular veterinary checks, parasite control, and biosecurity measures to minimize the risk of infections.
5. **Optimal Growth Conditions**: Maintain optimal environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and lighting in pig housing facilities. Consistent and suitable conditions support healthy growth, reduce stress, and promote quality pork production.
6. **Humane Handling and Transport**: Practice humane handling methods during pig handling, transportation, and processing. Stress-free handling minimizes stress hormones in pigs, which can affect meat quality. Proper transport conditions also play a crucial role in preserving meat quality before processing.
