Linzhi Native Pig is an unique local breed recently discovered in the hinterland of Tibet. Its geological distribution, natural environment and ecological conditions have been explored. Using random sampling in typical colony of classification and standard animal-scientific and biogenetic techniques, we examined its contour features, size and weight, reproductive performances, carcass characters, meat quality, freshkeeping features and the frequency distribution in the 19 structural gene loci encoding enzymes and proteins;according to folklores and Tibetan, Chinese and English history books, the materials and literature of Tibetan Studies, we have analyzed its origin; by visiting and requesting eminent Lamaists, practitioners of Tibetan medicine, farmers and herdsmen who self or relatives once treated with products from Linzhi Native Pigs, we recorded and summarized its application as a Tibetan medicinal material. Our findings make certain that Linzhi Native Pig holds great potential value in economy and culture.
