Hog deer (Axis porcinus) is listed as an endangered species in many countries and its taxonomic status remains ambiguous. In this study, we developed nine novel microsatellite markers using enrichment methods. These polymorphic microsatellite loci showed allele numbers of 2-3 with an average of 2.22 in a group of 26 individuals and observed and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.044 to 0.619 (average 0.397) and 0.194 to 0.632 (average 0.433) respectively. Linkage disequilibrium was not detected. These markers could be used in the genetic study and taxonomic identification of this species.
