In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the influence of a number of pigs in a group on swine productivity and blood indexes of pigs. In course of the study there were analyzed blood indexes of piglets before and at the end of the experiment. Research results showed that it was efficient to organize husbandry in small groups (10 heads per carriage). The adaptative period of animals in the conditions of husbandry in large groups (20 heads) was longer (the adaptation took place by the seventh day). In these conditions the average daily live weight gain of piglets was lower than in the conditions of small group husbandry on 5,1%. Research results showed that animal husbandry in the conditions of different number of heads per group did not render negative influence on morphological and biochemical blood composition.
