Doom pig is unique indigenous germplasm of Assam which is adaptable to local climatic conditions and thrives with very low to negligible nutritional input and is capable of surviving in a migratory scavenging system, which makes it very popular among local communities of the state for rearing. Looking at the uniqueness and importance of the breed, it has been registered with the National Database of ICAR-National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (INDIA_PIG_0200_DOOM_09006). The present study was undertaken to study the breeding tract, rearing practice in the field, evaluate the performance in the organized farm as well as its conservation needs. Formation of breed society, recognition of farmers, educating the stakeholders to use improved packages of practices and provision of incentives to the farmers to rear the animals will be helpful for the improvement of this unique germplasm.
