Abstract
The study was designed to compare blood parameters of three-month old, apparently healthy Mukota, Large White (LW) and LW ´ Mukota pigs. The blood picture of three- and six-month old Mukota pigs was also assessed. Red cell indices were higher (P 0.05) in the haematology and clinical chemistry parameters. Six-month old Mukota pigs had higher values (P Zimbabwe Vet. J. Vol.33(2) 2002: 85-95
