A growing concern for animal welfare has been observed and is likely to become a key element of meat production, including pork production, in the future.With the above statement, the very interesting topic "The role of hormones in swine stress" is introduced. The authors of this article describe in detail the mechanisms of stress, mediated by hormones, and their interaction with the physiology and behavior of meat-producing animals; in particular, the effect of stress on the quality of pork and pork products is examined.
