Abstract
The present study was conducted to analyze the various constraints faced by pig farmers
in Kancheepuram district of Tamilnadu. The data was collected from the 50 selected
respondents by using a well structured and pre-tested interview schedule. The recorded
constraints were prioritized by using a Garett ranking technique and the major constraints
were unavailability of upgraded boars, inadequate knowledge on scientiļ¬c feeding, lack
of knowledge on housing requirements and unawareness of identifying contagious
diseases. Further, they perceived long transport, un-remunerative price for pork and social
taboos as major constraints.
