Abstract
This review aims to provide an overview of the nutritional values and the possibility of pig meat (muscle longissimus lumborum) in dogs and cats nutrition based on a review of scientific literature. Pork is the most common consumed meat both in Poland and in the world. The expanding body of information concerning factors effecting impacts on pork quality was reviewed. Pork is considered valuable due to the content of high-quality proteins, fat and fatty acids, minerals, and other bioactive compounds. The content of these components depends on many factors, including breed, genetic factors, age, but also on the animal’s nutrition. The established views on pork are verified and confirmed by research that the nutritional and health-promoting value of this meat has significantly improved in recent years.
