The present study was carried out to know the effect of feeding fermented liquid feed on haemato-biochemical parameters in the pre-weaned (1st week to 4th week) and post-weaned (5th week to 10th week) young pig. Fermentation was carried out with the help of bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus. The young pigs were divided into three groups; control, treatment 1 and treatment 2. The control, treatment 1 and treatment 2 was fed on dry feed, fermented liquid feed and combination of equal parts of fermented liquid feed and dry feed, respectively, from 7 days of age to 70 days of age. Except total leucocyte count, there was significant increase in haemoglobulin, packed cell volume, total erythrocyte level in treatment 1, followed by treatment 2 and control group. The biochemical parameters like total protein, albumin and globulin were non-significantly increased in treatment 1, whereas other biochemical parameters like glucose, triglyceride and total cholesterol were either significantly or non-significantly increased in treatment 2 and control. From this study, it can be concluded that there was improvement in the haemato-biological parameters of pre-weaned and post-weaned young pigs fed on fermented liquid feed.
