An experiment was conducted with 50 pig. rearing households (10 from each of Jalchatra, Jangalia, Magantinagar, Pirgacha and Thanerbait villages of Madhupur forest area of Tangail district) who reared at least one pig throughout the year. It was evident that small farmers reared maximum number of pigs. About 92% of pig owners reared for fattening purpose whereas 4% of the pig owners reared for breeding purpose. It was boserved that the majority of pig owners (88%) kept their pigs in an open space in their homestead. Only 12% of farmers were found to make pig house with tin and pacca floor. Most of the farmers (90%) supplied cooked rice, wheat bran, kitchen waste as feed to the pigs. Very few farmers supply supplemental feed. The pig owners reported that they rear on pig for one year. After one year they sell their pigs. It is also revealed that most of the farmers preferred to sell their pigs to the local market. Sometimes they sell slaughter pig pieces. Internal parasitism was common problem in the pigs study areas. About 5% farmers reported that in summer season a few pigs were affected by FMD. From the present study, it may be concluded that pig production in Madhupur forest in Bangladesh is limited mainly due to low productivity of indigenous stock, high mortality, non availability of improved bore, inadequate supply of quality feeds, inadequate knowledge of farmers on pig nutrition and management, lack of training facilities on pig production, disorganized market disease outbreak etc.

To study the pig rearing system, their housing and management system, sources and availability of feed resources, their feeding system, diseases and their prophylactic measures and constraints of pig production in the Madhupur forest.

Study area Five villages namely Jalchatra, Pirgacha, Thanerbait, Magantinagar and Jangalia in the Tribal area of the Madhupur forest under Tangail District were selected for the study. The main criteria behind the selection of study areas were as follows: • A considerable number of pigs being reared by the Tribal farmers of the above villages. • No such study was conducted before in these areas. • The study areas were well communicated to help In collecting necessary information. • Co-operation from the respondents. • The villages were identical with respect location and the farmers were almost similar in social habits and customs.Period of data collection: Fanners rear round the year available of natural feeds. Present survey work was conducted during the month of May and June, 2004. Selection of sample and sampling technique: Farmers were selected based on the pig population having at least one pig rear throughout the year. A total of 50 farmers were selected randomly from five Tribal villages, ten farmers each from Jalchatra, Pirgacha, Thanerbait Magantinagar and Jangalia under Madhupur upazila. Two breeder farmers were selected from Gabtoly hat under Muktagacha Upazila were large numbers of pigs are sold.

Preparation of interview schedule: The interview schedule was prepared according to the objectives of the study. It was pre-tested for judging suitability of schedules to the respondents. In the pre-tested survey, attention was paid to include any new information, which was not in the draft questionnaire. Thus, the draft was improved, rearranged and modified in the light of the practical experiences.

Methods of Data Collection: The data were collected during the period from May to June, 2004. Data was collected through visit in every household of the selected area. Information given by the farmers on the above mentioned questionnaire was recorded and kept for analysis.

Analytical Techniques: Data collected in this study were compiled, processed, tabulated and statistical analysis such as number, percentage, mean and standard deviation were done through computer package SPSS and Microsoft Excel.

It may be concluded that pig production in Madhupur forest is limited mainly due to low productivity of indigenous pigs, high mortality, non availability of improved breeds, inadequate supply of quality feeds, inadequate knowledge of farmers on pig nutrition and management, lack of training facilities on pig producer, disorganized market, diseases outbreak. However, pig farming in the Madhupur forest of Bangladesh, based on scavenging system may be good source of income and providing good nutrition to the Tribal people.Considering the above facts, the following recommendations may be suggested for development of a sustainable and profitable pig production system in Madhupur forest, • Efforts may be taken to supply improved breeds of pigs to the farmers at a cheap price, • Availability or quality feeds need to be ensured, • Short term training facilities on nutrition, housing and management of pigs may be undertaken.
