Throughout my blog assignment I have learned several details that I didn’t know before. Porcine stress syndrome should definitely be taken seriously. Although I have little background knowledge about PSS I have learned it is a much bigger topic then discussed in our community. Now knowing the effects on pigs and the meat we receive from them has opened my views on my subject. I believe that porcine stress syndrome isn’t a big issue when it comes to breeding and pigs containing this disorder. I think that these animals should be better taken care of. Should all swine containing porcine stress syndrome be provided with higher quality facilities before being slaughtered? My answer would have to be yes having all the information on what a pig goes through I think slaughter houses should update facilities to make them better suitable. A slaughter house might have to spend money to build pigs the right environment but in the long run they would be getting more money because more pigs would be living and more meat would be sold. Also if fewer pigs underwent porcine stress syndrome before being slaughtered we would all be provided better quality meat without having to spend the big bucks. Breeders throughout the United States aren’t going to stop raising pigs with porcine stress syndrome anytime soon, so should we make another change?
