In fact, the attributes of three types of pork mentioned earlier are distinctly different.
Beta-agonist free pork
This term defines the pork which is free from beta-agonist. However, other processes like slaughtering and cutting can be proceeded at anywhere and with any manners.

The farm must be certified by the Department of Livestock Development as a “Standardized Farm”. The farm must be equipped with diseases control system. It must be managed correctly in order to control the disease that might infect the swines. Moreover, the usage of prohibited chemical substances must be controlled. The blood and urine of swines must be tested before processing as pork in order to ensure that it is free from beta-agonist and antibiotics. These are just the beginning step of hygienic pork as the slaughter process must be proceeded in the factory certified and permitted as “Hygienic meat manufacturing location”. The pigs must be relaxed as much as possible during the conveyance. The truck must provide proper space. In processing process, the pork must never be placed on the floor. The cleanness of tools, mechanisms, equipment, and the hygiene of staff are also important. The production room must be tight and equipped with the temperature controller. It must be free from insects and disease vectors. The sample of flesh must be rechecked to ensure that it is free from beta-agonist and harmful bacteria. For delivering process, the product must be conveyed by trucks equipped with the cold chain system. Therefore, you can be confident that hygienic pork is free from chemical substances and bacteria which may be the cause of food poisoning.
Natural Pork/Natural Meat
This term refers to the swines domesticated in free-range production system. They were in a good mood and happy. Instead of growing in a narrow space, they get a chance to run in wild meadow, drink clean water, soak in the pond to deal with the heat, rest and eat at the indoor zone.
