Piggery farming is one of the most important occupations which can give the returns within a very short period of time. Pigs are efficient converters of feed and capable of high rates of growth. A sow can easily produce 8-12 piglets per litter after agestation period of 110-120 days (average 114 days) and may produce 2 litters per years, if reproduction is managed well. However, scientific management has the key role to play for overall performance of the piggery sector.  \nKeywords: Pig production, Piggery farming  \nCitation: Kaushik P. and Kalita K. B.

Livestock plays an important role in the rural economy by supplementing family incomes as well as generating employment opportunity for the educated youth, retired persons, landless labourers, small and marginal farmers and women. Pig rearing is very common in India, particularly among the tribal people. After the broilers, piggery sector is known for its efficiency in being good feed converters. It is the most important source of meat production. Apart from producing meat, it is also a source of bristles and manure. According to the current census, the total pig population in the country is 9.06 million, which has declined by 12.03% over the previous Census. Pig farming in India is primarily a small scale unorganized rural activity and is an integral part of diversified agriculture sector. The performance of pig farming in Assam and other North Eastern states of India is more compared to other states in India. Pig population in the N North-Eastern (NE) region is above 38.42 percent of country’s total and in Assam it is 15.89 percent. The share of meat production from pig is 17481 tonnes as against the total meat production of 44813 tonnes in Assam during 2015-16 (Integrated Sample Survey Report 2015- 16) . The majority of the people of the North-Eastern (NE) region of India are nonvegetarian and among them a good number of people consume pork [1] . This is because of the high proportion of tribal masses in North-East India. As such pig farming has always been an integral part of the life of these people [2] . The NorthEastern region provides ample scope for piggery development. The tribal people of the North East traditionally rear pigs. 90% of the inhabitants of this region are meat-eaters. There is no religious taboo against pork consumption in NE region. Pig farming in North- Eastern states not only contributes to the livelihood security of the rural masses but also plays an important role in improving the socioeconomic status of the tribal population and weaker section of the society [3] .
