Arunachal min urges farmers to adopt scientific pig rearing
1 2 Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh agriculture minister Gabriel Denwang Wangsu on Wednesday urged farmers to shift from traditional pig rearing to modern, commercial piggery practices to boost income and ensure sustainable livelihoods. Addressing an awareness camp at Kanubari in Longding district, Wangsu emphasised the need for scientific techniques in pig farming and called on farmers to adopt biosafety measures and move away from rearing just one or two pigs in the traditional manner. The programme was organised under the tribal sub Plan (TSP) of ICAR-National Research Centre on Pig, Rani in Guwahati in collaboration with ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Longding. It focused on scientific piggery management and also included distribution of pig feed and PUSA BEEJ vegetable seed kits under the school kitchen garden programme. "Modern challenges require modern solutions. The govt is ready with meat processing and marketing facilities and will scale up beneficiary-oriented programmes," the minister said. He also directed KVK and department officials to work in close coordination to maximise outreach to farmers. The technical sessions featured breed selection, housing, disease control and market linkages led by scientists from ICAR. The programme also featured interactive sessions between farmers and experts, enabling participants to clarify doubts on pig farming practices. ICAR-NRC on Pig senior scientist Juwar Doley, Kanubari additional deputy commissioner Yashwant Meena, animal husbandry director Danjan Longri, Prof Lobsang Wangchu of ICAR-RC NEH Region (Basar), and district veterinary officer Ojoli Moyong also spoke at the event and highlighted departmental policies and schemes.
