Abstract
Pork, known for its taste and texture, is one of the most sought-after meats. It is widely consumed by people around the world, except for a few religious taboos. Pig rearing, the starting point of pork production, is widely acclaimed to be one of the highly profitable livestock options. In spite of its various perks, pig and pork production is often plagued by its own array of disadvantages such as their role in the transmission of various zoonotic diseases and transboundary diseases.
