With increasing consumer demand for high-quality meat, pork quality has become a central focus in the development of the swine industry. Producing premium pork has become an inevitable requirement for promoting the high-quality growth of the pig production sector. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the formation process and molecular mechanisms underlying pork quality, together with the application of nutritional strategies to regulate and improve pork quality, is of great significance for advancing high-quality development in pig farming. Probiotics, as active microorganisms with immunomodulatory, gut microecology-balancing, and antioxidant functions, have demonstrated substantial application potential in livestock production. Combining domestic and international animal models and swine production studies, this review systematically summarized the molecular mechanisms by which probiotics regulated skeletal muscle satellite cell proliferation and differentiation and reshaped muscle fiber-type composition and metabolic phenotypes, and integrated the research progress on probiotics in improving pork quality. This review aimed to elucidate the potential biological mechanisms through which probiotics improve meat quality, thereby providing a theoretical basis and technical support for the use of probiotics in producing high-quality pork.
