The North-Eastern Hills Region of India in general and Nagaland in particular is characterized
by inaccessibility, marginality, fragility, cultural heterogeneity, rich biodiversity, low livestock and
crop productivity. In Nagaland, there are 16 recognized tribes besides numerous minor tribes
which are mostly non-vegetarian. Also, the per caput consumption of animal protein is highest in
Nagaland. Meat of any kind of animal is acceptable without any religion consideration. Tribal
farmers of the State evolve a zero to negligible input based livestock and poultry production
system. This system aims to get medium output from nearly zero input and mostly depends on the
locally available resources. However, there are major constainsts like non-availability of good
poultry germplasm, lack of scientific knowledge of improved production practices and higher feed
cost deters the tribal farmers for going for commercial poultry farming. The State is almost 40%
deficient in animal meat and products.
