Pig rearing is an integral part of traditional Naga life. The rural tribal population comprises
about 80% of the state who are mostly engaged in agriculture and some form of animal
husbandry. Pig is most important livestock which plays an integral role in improving the economic
status of the tribal and weaker section of the Nagaland. Pig alone accounts for 55.38% of the
total livestock population in Nagaland, but still a wide gap exists between the demand and
availability of pork mainly due to traditional production system. Nagaland is the highest pork
consuming state on per capita basis. The swine population of Nagaland stood at 0.698 million at
the last estimate (2013) which is an immediate increase from 0.504 million (2012). Out of this,
75.59% are exotic or mixed while 24.41% are indigenous breeds. However due to indiscriminate
breeding the genetic potential of the swine population has become unpredictable and there arises
an urgent need to introduce and supply improved germplasm in the state.
