Our study reveals a close genetic relationship between Thai native pigs and Chinese pigs. The genetic introgression from European breeds is found in some Thai native pig populations, and signs of genetic erosion are shown. Private alleles found in this study should be taken into consideration for the breeding program. The genetic information from this study will be a benefit for both conservation and utilization of Thai pig genetic resources.
