The manuscript described the effect of maize and rice based heat treated and untreated diets on major biochemical analytes of weaned Large White Yorkshire pigs. For the investigation, 90 pigs weaned at 28 days of age were selected and categorised into five equal groups (T1, T2, T3, T4 and C). Each group was further subdivided into three sub groups of 6 pigs each and was reared together in one pen till 56 days of age. Weaned pigs were fed to their appetite with starter (week 5 to 6) and grower I (week 7 to 8) rations (T1- Rice based heat treated with additives, T2- Rice based heat untreated treated with additives, T3- Maize based heat treated with additives, T4- Maize based heat untreated with additives, C- Maize based heat untreated without additives). The level of as glucose, total protein, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were estimated, which were found to be different non significantly on day 28 and 56 post weaning as well as between treatment and control groups. Data generated out of the investigation will be helpful to clinician as reference values for monitoring health of pigs.
