Animal husbandry plays a vital role in socio-economic life of Phek district people and they rear domestic animals – pig, poultry, cattle, buffalo, goat, rabbit etc. They also keep Mithun in semi-wild condition. Majority people of the district are non vegetarian and hence having high demand of meat and egg. Due to low production performance of the local animals with traditional rearing practices, production performance of livestock in the district is not up to the mark to fulfill the meat, egg and milk demand of the district. Hence, this sector has great prospect and potentiality for development in the district
