Present study was carried out to assess the effect of age and rearing system on the blood biochemical analytes of broilers in Mizoram, India. Significant effect of age was recorded on the serum concentration of cholesterol, total protein and serum albumin, which showed an increasing trend, while the glucose, ALP, uric acid, calcium and phosphorous showed a decreasing trend with the advancement of age. However, significant difference (P<0.05) in the rearing system was found only in serum cholesterol and glucose level. However, it may be recommended that it is safe to slaughter the broilers event after 6th weeks to 12th weeks of age since the recorded serum levels of the different biochemical analytes was found to be within the reference range. Nonetheless, from the economic point of view, rearing of poultry birds up to 12th week is not recommended in backyard system of rearing. The data may be of use to assess the health of the broilers.
