Animal husbandry and livestock sectors are critical for the rural livelihood and economic development of the country. India possesses one of the world's largest livestock wealth; a quarter of the agricultural gross domestic product is contributed by the livestock sector. Among the livestock species, the pig finds an important place as it is reared by socio-economically weaker sections of society. Pig, 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 a small investment in buildings and pieces of equipment. It has immense potential to ensure nutritional and economic security for the weaker sections of society.
