As compared to the other 16 districts of the state, Papum-Pare stands eight positions in respect to mithun population (11,070 numbers). The district produces as a whole 5.300 (000’ MT) milk, 3.300 (millions nos.) egg and 1.642 (00’ Tons) meat with per capita availability of 11.90 g / day milk, 3.69 g / day meat and 0.074 no. egg / day .

S.N	Produce	2005-2006		2006-2007
S.N	Produce	Papum-Pare	Arunachal Pradesh	Papum-Pare	Arunachal Pradesh
1.	Milk (000’MT)	5.400	48.000	5.300	48.500
2.	Egg (Million Nos.)	1.362	38.000	3.300	38.500
3.	Meat (00’Ton)	2.000	20.200	1.642	20.600

Reviewing the above discussions it is noticed that livestock and poultry shows sub-optimum production with lower productivity; this contributes to the far below per capita availability of the livestock produces as compared to the ICMR recommendations; this might be due to low genetic potential, disorganized utilization of available resources, primitive nature of livestock rearing practices and lack of awareness amongst the people about scientific advancements and the potentialities of livestock species as a means of primary source of income. This bottleneck in this sector demands the K.V.K to play pivotal role in selection of technologies, assessment and refinement of technologies and thereby dissemination of the tested scientific technologies with advanced methodology of agricultural extension for augmenting the production and productivity of the livestock and poultry population in the state.
