Abstract: Present study reports the reference values of blood metabolites in different age groups of Zovawk pigs, an indigenous pig of Mizoram, India. It was observed that although the glucose level varied slightly between suckling and grower piglets, it was significantly the highest in case of adult pigs. The cholesterol and triglycerides also exhibited similar trend of variation. However, the LDL and HDL concentration did now show any significant difference amongst the experimental groups. Similarly, the total protein level was found to be significantly higher in adult pigs. However, the difference recorded in albumin concentration amongst the experimental groups was non-significant. Conversely, globulin concentration was apparently higher in adult stage. There was not much difference in the level of BUN, creatinine and uric acid between suckling and grower pigs, but uric acid concentration was found to increase as age advances. The variation observed in the creatinine concentration among the experimental groups was only numerical. Present study indicates nearly a constant level of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin in different experimental groups of pigs irrespective of age.
