Innovation in pig farming using artificial insemination boosts productivity in rural communities, indicating significant economic benefits.
Pig farming is essential to rural communities, livelihood, and food security in North Eastern India, where pork constitutes a single of the most widely consumed animal proteins. However, poor genetic quality, unregulated breeding and restricted access to better boars frequently limit productivity of standard pigs in the area. Pig’s genetics potential, efficiency of reproduction, and total production can all be greatly increased by artificial insemination (AI), a promising reproductive technology. Adoption of AI makes it possible to employ superior boar semen, lessens the requirement for farm-level breeding boar maintenance, and improves disease control. This illustrates the importance of AI technology, its advantages, and its potential to transform pig production systems in North Eastern India, boosting farmer income and strengthening the regional pork supply chain.
