Nutrition has emerged as a critical solution for pig farmers in North East India, where nearly 28% of India’s total pig population is concentrated. Since the outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF) in 2020, farmers have struggled without a vaccine, turning to high-quality feed to build immunity and maintain productivity.
Addressing this challenge, Godrej Agrovet has introduced its upgraded ‘Pride Hog’ pig feed range, fortified with Immuno-modulators and essential nutrients. The range offers tailored solutions for piglets, growers, and finishers, aiming to reduce production costs while ensuring resilience across the pig lifecycle. Early field trials have shown rapid growth, higher piglet survivability, and improved reproduction outcomes.
In Guwahati’s pig market, traders and farmers are optimistic that the enhanced feed will stabilize supply and improve profitability. Local demand for pork remains strong, but disease outbreaks have disrupted consistency. Stakeholders believe Pride Hog could help restore farmer confidence, ensuring a steady flow of healthier animals to meet rising consumer demand. Capt. (Dr.) A.Y. Rajendra, CEO – Animal & Aqua Feed Business, Godrej Agrovet, said, “Pride Hog range aligns with our vision to empower farmers with science-backed, innovative solutions that promote animal well-being and boost farm profitability.”
