“…On the contrary in NE India, the expenditure on meat is much higher as compared to that of rest of India, although the average annual per capita income is significantly lower than the national per capita income. It is evident from the expenditure estimate which shows that in the NE states around 16.5% and in mainland India only 7% is devoted to meat out of the total food expenditure [ 1 ]. The average monthly per consumer unit consumption and the average monthly per consumer unit expenditure pattern in NEH India are compared with the rest of India in Figures- 1 and 2 .…”

“…The recent 19 th Livestock Census-2012 indicates that there is 38.21% increase in meat production from 1999-00 to 2012-13 against the national average of 29.21%. Similarly, the meat consumption pattern and expenditure are 2-3 folds higher when compared to national average [ 1 ], which underscore the importance of meat and meat products in the region. Varieties of products are being prepared from meat and fish with locally available vegetables, herbs, and spices.…”

Market potential and opportunities for commercialization of traditional meat products in North East Hill Region of India

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The North Eastern (NE) India is renowned for its preference for animal-based food. This region is known for its traditional meat products. However, the popularity of these products remains confined to the specific community/location. The knowledge on the traditional preparation methods is generally passed across generations through practice and word of mouth. The traditional style of preparation and the specific ingredients added to each product makes them unique. In this review, an attempt has been made to identify the initiatives, opportunities, and market potential for commercialization of the traditional meat products. These unique features and properties of the traditional meat products have been highlighted. The commercialization of these products will enhance entrepreneurship development and ensure quality ethnic products to the consumer in the NE hill region of India.

“…The high prevalence rate of kidney stone disease in North East India could be the food habits of the people. The widely and most consumed foods of North East India are rice and animal meats (Mahajan et al 2015), which contain a large number of carbohydrates and proteins that can initiate the formation of kidney stone disease with less physical activity. Besides this, there is also reported literature about the presence of a high amount of fluoride in drinking water from North East India (Singh et al 2008), which is also one of the risk factors for the formation of kidney stones (Singh et al 2001).…”

Kidney stone disease is one of the most common urologic disorders worldwide. The incidence of kidney stones disease is increasing all over the world. It is a multifactorial disease accompanied by various factors. The dietary factor is one of the most important risk factors for the formation and recurrence of kidney stone disease. Formation and recurrence of kidney stone disease can be prevented by modifying our day to day dietary habits. Fewer intakes of animal protein, higher intake of fluid, higher intake of fruits, and higher intake of green leafy vegetables, which contain a low amount of oxalate, can prevent the formation of kidney stones and recurrence of kidney stones. From this review, it may be presumed that the higher prevalence rate of kidney stone disease in northeast India may be the dietary factors accompanied by environmental and climatic conditions of the region.

“…79 kg/animal. Supply-demand gap of pork is more 41.02% in NE region than the national average (27.40%) (Mahajan et al 2015) is due to low input-traditional/ backyard production system as compared to poultry industry in India. The major reason is that 70-80% nondescript local pigs reared by the farmers whose growth rate is poor, low reproductive and productive performance, fed with homemade cooked feed including kitchen waste and locally available plants (Kumaresan et al 2009) in this hilly region.…”

Background: Pig farming is the integral component of farming system in the tribal dominated North Eastern region of India since pork is the most preferred meat among tribal population. However, pork still remains deficit and a high supply-demand gap exists due to low productivity of nondescript local pigs. In this context, popularization of crossbred pigs is the suitable option to enhance productivity. Thus, the study was carried out to evaluate the performance of crossbred pigs viz., Tamworth X Desi (T and D), Hampshire X Niang Megha (H and NM) in order to improve the pig productivity in the region. Methods: Data was collected from crossbred pigs viz., Tamworth X desi (T and D), Hampshire X Niang Megha (H and NM) and Niang Megha (NM) pigs which is maintained in the Pig breeding farm of the institute. This data included the study of productive (n=778 piglets), reproductive (n =107 sows) and carcass traits (n =45 slaughters) over a period of about eight years (2005-2013) from the farm record books cum-pedigree sheet of the pig farm. The date was analyzed suitable statistical tools. Result: The study recorded no significant differences (P less than 0.01) in pre weaning body weight, growth rate and mortality rate between T and D and H and NM crossbred pigs however, both the crossbred pigs revealed significantly (P less than 0.05) higher pre weaning body weight and growth rate than that of NM pig. Post weaning body weight were significantly (P less than0.05) highest in T and D crossbred pigs followed by H and NM crossbred pig as compared to NM pigs at all age groups. Farrowing rate were significantly (P less than 0.05) highest in NM pigs and lowest in T and D crossbred pigs. However, farrowing interval were significantly (P less than0.05) highest in NM pig and lowest in H and NM crossbred pigs. Regarding litter size at birth and weaning, there was no significant (P less than0.01) difference between T and D and H and NM pig but both these pigs revealed significantly (P less than0.05) higher litter performance than NM pig. Back fat thickness and loin eye area were significantly highest in T and D pigs and lowest in NM pig. However, NM pig has significantly highest lean meat content than T and D and H and NM crossbred pig. There was no significant difference (P less than0.01) observed of dressing percentage between T and D and H and NM crossbred pig but, both the genetic group yield significantly (P less than0.05) higher dressing percentage than Niang Megha pigs. Based on the productive, reproductive and carcass traits, the study concluded that T and D pigs more suitable for fattener pig production due to their higher growth performance and carcass yield, whereas H and M pigs can be utilized for breeding purpose in subtropical hill ecosystem of Northeast India.
