| Zusammenfassung: | A total of 200 pig farmers from five different agroclimatic zones were selected and surveyed using a questionnaire and personal interview to assess the socio-economic status.

The other agricultural cultivations followed were coconut, banana, vegetables and arecanut cultivation with the subsidiary animal husbandry activity of cattle rearing and fish farming in coastal areas. The rationale behind rearing of pigs was as a source of additional income and majority of the pig farmers had 9-12 years of experience. |
