The urgency of the thesis The Common Palm Civet Paradoxurus hermaphroditus Pallas 1777 belongs to the Viverridae family carnivora Carnivora . This animal is widely distributed in Central South and Southeast Asia. In Vietnam the civets are widely distributed across the country 7 . Hunting and use of civet taps for different purposes such as meat leather fur aromatherapy used in the production of weasel coffee along with their declining habitat are depleting this species in nature 2 8 . Preserving and storing genetic resources is one of the urgent regular and long-term solutions 9 . In order to sustainably preserve livestock gene sources the exploitation and development of genetic resources is an effective solution 10 . Therefore in Vietnam successfully built many breeding civet farms. The civet farming in addition to bringing high economic efficiency to the farmers also helps to reduce hunting and contribute to preserving biodiversity 11 . In .
