The Korean native pig is the only native pig breed in Korea.[1] Korean native pig was reported to have black glossy hairs, caved face, greatly protruded mouth, big eyes, straightly upright ears, round shoulder, narrow rear back, wide chest, long hip, well balanced short legs and 10-12 teats (Taimatsu, 1917). The major characteristics of Korean native pig are high propagating power, superior meat quality and strong adaption ability (Yeo et al. 2000).
