Abstract

This paper analyses livestock population dynamics, demand and supply of livestock products and their consumption pattern in Nagaland. Livestock population of all species except poultry has decreased. Similarly, meat and egg production decreased over the last two decades whereas milk production has increased on a small scale. However, due to changing lifestyle, increasing urbanization and increasing income; demand of meat and more specifically pork has considerably increased. The state is deficient to the tune of 50% in all livestock products. On one side, there is increasing demands and on the other side there is continuous decline in livestock population. It is imperative that Nagaland’s domestic supply will be unable to meet its current demand. To meet the growing demand for livestock products, Nagaland has to adopt competitive and sustainable livestock production technologies which not only increase the productivity, but have positive impact on environment and animal ethics.
