The aim of this research was to determine the concentration of glucose in blood in newly born piglets and at what time it is occurs due to starvation. Also the practical applying of glucochemotest method for diagnosing hypoglycemic piglets was evaluated. The experiment was performed on 33 piglets, divided into two groups (control and experimental). On the bases of the obtained results it was concluded that the piglets were born with low glucose level in blood. In the piglets from the control group the percent of animals with hypoglycemia was 10%. After 24 hours in 41.6% hypoglycemia was discovered in newly born piglets from the experimental group. Glucochemotest is a simple and fast method for easy detection of hypoglycemic piglets and thus presents a preventive measure against death at the first days of life.
