The aim of this research is conducted to clarify the genetic relationship among junglefowl and native chicken and also to specify the actual situation as domestication center in Southeast Asian countries. Field survey was performed three times in Thailand in three years from 2007 to 2009 by using molecular genetic and morphological study approaches under the cooperation with Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University. The field investigation was carried out in these two areas, southeastern area (Chantaburi and Trat provinces) and northern area (Nan and Chiang Rai provinces). In each area, we corrected morphological data and blood samples from junglefowl, native chicken and also their hybrid birds. We also assembled historical records interested in domestication of chicken from Kamphaeng Phet, Ayutthaya and Chachoengsao provinces. Moreover, we investigated the information related junglefowl and their hybrid population around the border among Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar. These information seems to be very useful for the future.
