Details
The scheme “Arun Pig Development Scheme” was launched by the Department of Animal Husbandry, Veterinary & Dairy Development, Government of Arunachal Pradesh in the financial year 2019-20 with a focus on pig rearing. Among the livestock species, the pig finds an important place as it is being reared by socio-economically weaker sections of the society especially in the states like Arunachal Pradesh where most of people prefer non-veg cuisines with special attractions for Pork. The pig as compared to other livestock species has a great potential to contribute to a faster economic return to the farmers, because of certain inherent traits like high fecundity, better-feed conversion efficiency, early maturity, and short generation interval. Pig farming also requires small investments in buildings and equipment.
Objective
- Genetic improvement of the indigenous pigs of Arunachal Pradesh for productivity enhancement by crossbreeding with the exotic breed(s) to a desired level of combination of exotic and local inheritance,
- Improvement of indigenous pig rearing by the rural people by selective breeding,
- Livelihood earning
- Maintenance of well-planned crossbred animals at farmers’ field
- Expansion of piggery husbandry and support mechanism to propagate pig rearing in rural areas
- Ensure that the breeds introduced, and crossbreds produced and propagated in the state are adapted to local environmental conditions and emerging climatic challenges,
- Strengthen support mechanisms and development of the sector in respect of feeding, housing, and health care besides value addition and marketing of the product with value chain development.
- Scientific rearing and motivation of farmers for integrated piggery farming.
Important Features
- Seeing the low interest of the actual grass root level farmer for the credit link schemes and their poor success rate, a new venture for piggery development in the state through direct intervention by the Department of AHV&DD, GoAP in terms of upgradation of genetic resources, and other peripherals, a new and innovative scheme is proposed for Budget Announcement 2019-20 for sustainable development and poverty alleviation of Farmers through Pig Rearing in potential districts of Arunachal Pradesh.
