The week long training on smell-less piggery farming technology concluded here today under the aegis of the Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services.
Khing said the department has to make a change in the piggery farming which is very important in the state. With the knowledge acquired in both theory and practical in the 7 days training, they should go and spread the message to every household in the villages to adopt the hygienic and productive way of rearing pigs as we all are rearing pigs in a traditional method with the offensive smell, he said.
The reason for conducting this training is to equip ourselves with the technology advancement, so as, to bring our requirement for meat to come to self sufficiency.
The wrap up note was delivered by Dr. Aomangyang Walling Addl. Director & HoD. He reminded the trainees that, the technology they have learned was on smell-less piggery farming, but to let others also “smell” the technology through them.
