Abstract: The quality of the supply chain for livestock products is related to the sustainable development of the livestock industry and national food security. Based on supply chain theory, green supply chain theory, and quality management theory, combined with the characteristics of livestock products and field research in China and Mongolia, a conceptual model of green supply chain quality for livestock products was constructed around two dimensions: livestock product quality and green supply chain service quality. Among them, the factors affecting the quality of livestock products are composed of 10 factors pertaining to breeding, slaughtering and processing, circulation, and sales; the factors affecting the service quality of the green supply chain of livestock products are composed of 16 factors in five links of supply chain services, such as logistics, information flow, capital flow, personnel quality, and public services. The quality of livestock products and the quality of green supply chain services of livestock products are not independent from each other, but show a relationship of mutual influence and mutual restriction. Focusing on the two dimensions of livestock product quality and livestock product green supply chain service quality, an optimization path of livestock product green supply chain quality is proposed. The research findings have certain guiding significance for promoting the high-quality development of green supply chains for cross-border livestock products in China and Mongolia.
