Comparison of pig?s stunning (by electricity or CO2) at slaughterhouse and monitoring the occurrence of quality variance PSE during 48 hours post mortem was main goal of this work. Basic indicators such as pH1, drip loss of water and meat colour (lightness) were determined to assess PSE. In addition to these indicators have been also evaluated values of pH24 and pH48. The result of those indicators is that during stunning by CO2 gas value of pH1 was higher by 0,3 degree (P < 0,001), value of pH24 was higher by 0,243 (P < 0,001) and average drip loss of water was lower by 2,16 % (P < 0,001). Changes in other evaluated indicators were statistically non-significant. Occurrence of quality variance which tends to PSE (PSEi) and PSE was evaluated at slaughterhouse which is using electricity for stunning as higher by 7,843 % at PSEi and 1,961 % at PSE based on value of pH1. As higher was evaluated also drip loss of water by 23,810 % at PSEi respectively 4,762% at PSE. Difference between occurring of PSEi and PSE based on meat colour was not observed. The highest correlation dependence was found between pH1 and drip loss of water (r = 0,586, R2 = 34,315 %).
