Abstract
Pig rearing has traditionally been in the main occupational axis of the socially backward
down-trodden class of Indian population since time immemorial. Pigs provide not only income
to the family but also provide livelihood security and choice of meat for family consumption. Pig
farming is gaining momentum due to increased demand for the pork. The pork is a cheapest
animal protein source available in the market. Recessionary and cultural changes have
impacted the way consumers shop for pork among the rural people. Now-a-days, urbanization
has been causing a rise in demand for pork products. In India, consumption of both beef and
pork appears to be growing relatively slowly compared with other meat.
