In recent years livestock production in Thailand has switched from backyard systems to

industrialized husbandry. In parallel, exotic livestock was imported to improve

production performance and for economically important traits. Indigenous livestock has

therefore gradually been used for crossbreeding and was finally replaced completely by

exotic commercial breeds. However, these breeding strategies oppose the concepts of

sustainability and resource management and will lead to the threatening risk of losing

genetic identity and diversity of indigenous breeds.
