Abstract: An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary energy and protein levels on certain serum enzyme activities in growing indigenous (Ghungroo) pigs. Twenty-four piglets were selected and divided into four groups. Four different rations prepared by maintaining 2 levels of protein and 2 levels of energy and fed to respective groups i.e, high protein-high energy (Gr-I), high protein-low energy (Gr-II), low protein-high energy (Gr-III), and low protein-low energy (Gr-IV). Blood samples were analyzed at day 0, 30, 60 and 90 for estimation of serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP). All the enzymes increase with advancement of age in all the groups. However, no significant differences were observed in enzyme level and were found within the normal range. These results indicated that the ration with low protein and high energy could be optimal to sustain the serum enzymes level within the range.
