The number of chromosomes and their banding patterns in Korean native pigs were investigated to obtain the basic information on the improvement of them. Followings are the main results obtained. l. The number of chromosome of Korean native pigs was 38(19 pairs), among which the number of autosome was 36 and that of sex chromosome was 2(XY in male and XX in female) 2. In a karyotype, chromosomes from number 1 to 5 were submetacentric, from number 6 to 7 were acrocentric. Chromosomes from 8 to 12 and X and Y chromosomes were metacentric and from 13 to 18 were telocentric.
