Environmental Stress and Meat Quality^1,2,

Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana

Abstract

The elements of the environment exert important effects on the growth and development of meat animals that are manifested in muscle. These influences are probably responsible for much of the variability that exists in the acceptability of muscle as a food. Environmental control offers the opportunity to minimize this variability in meat quality. As our understanding of these relationships becomes greater, it is possible that growing environments may be designed to encourage the most desirable internal environment in the animal.
