Abstract:
Rearing and breeding animals for human consumption, commercial use, or transportation are all examples of animal husbandry. Animal husbandry is vital to the economy of Nagaland, especially in rural areas. It's a boon to the economy since it creates jobs and supports many families. The raising of livestock, including cattle, poultry, pigs, and goats, is a popular pastime in Nagaland. A large percentage of the state's labor force is directly employed by these industries. Livestock ownership and management is not only a source of income for many Nagas, especially in rural areas but also an important component of their traditional and social identity. The Naga culture places a premium on maintaining this link between tradition and economic success. Animal husbandry in Nagaland is important since it helps to ensure the region's food supply and reduces poverty. Providing a consistent supply of meat, milk, eggs, and other animal products, it is crucial in satisfying the population's dietary requirements. Animal husbandry is also an important source of income for many families, especially in rural locations where other economic possibilities may be scarce. The methodology undertaken is descriptive analysis. The objectives are first to discuss the livelihood income through animal husbandry, second, the importance of dairy products, and third, the impact on the economy through this work.
