National Research Centre on Pig was established by Indian Council of Agricultural Research on recommendation of mid-term appraisal committee constituted by ICAR in 1990 after reviewing the work of the All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Pig. Accordingly, ICAR approved the institute to be established at Guwahati, Assam located in North-eastern part of country where 40% of country’s pig population is distributed. The farm of the Institute has been started functioning since August, 2007 and currently maintain three exotic (Hampshire, Duroc and Large White Yorkshire), two indigenous (Ghungroo and Mali) pig breeds and their crosses. The mandate of the institute is to undertake basic, strategic and applied research in the areas of pig production and health including product/by-product processing, value addition through quality control measures and transfer of the evolved technologies to the client groups.
