Fifteen microsatellite loci were analyzed in 49 random individuals to characterize the genetic variability of native pig breed (native pig in north, 22 and native pig in northeast, 27) in Thailand. Mean numbers of allele per locus, mean numbers of shared allele per locus and average gene diversity per locus were 8.60, 4.27 and 0.7742, respectively. Polymorphism information content (PC), observed and expected heterozygosity of native pig in north (0.5630, 0.4496 and 0.6003, respectively) were less than the values in northeast (0.7439, 0.5570 and 0.4473, respectively). Nei' standard genetic distance between native pig in north and native pig in northeast was 0.5510. These results indicated that genetic diversity of native pig in northeast was higher than that in north.
