Abstract :
An approach and adoption to new technology in poultry and pig production was desired to study and associate
important factors in particularly in non-ruminant livestock farming globally, threats and opportunities, and a comparison
of the pig and poultry farming in Nepal and other developed countries including China with regard to the use of modern
skills, tools and technology. A qualitative study was done with an evaluation in previous research conducted in the area of
science and technology usage in pig and poultry farming from research papers, journals, national and international annual
reports and pig and poultry websites that were studied using the internet as valuable tools in finding the disproportion
between developed and developing nations. The findings of the study suggested that the farmers of Nepal practiced
traditional farming methods and simple and old technology. However, extension in the use of modern and advanced
technology in poultry rearing is found to be more in comparison to pig farming. Nepal should have appropriate plans and
policies for promoting the application of technology in both fields. The result of the study showed that use of technology in
pig and poultry farming have positive impacts globally by employment opportunities, nutrient supply, business and
productivity. Developing countries like Nepal would need sustainable and modern technology to increase meat and egg
production, which could be implemented to optimize livestock farming.
