The present study was conducted to know the effect of probiotic supplementation to Pre-weaning pig on haematological profile during pre-weaning period. A total of24 number of Large White Yorkshire nursing piglets were utilized for the present study. Animals were randomly assigned into 2 equal groups; Group 1(Treatment), Group 2(Control).The probiotic supplement (Darolac) containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum and Saccharomyces boulardii was fed orally twice daily with a gap of 6 hours up to 7 days to the piglet @ 1 g/piglet/day twice daily in the treatment group. The control group was not fed any probiotic supplementation. Weaning was done on day 28. Blood samples of piglets were analysed for Haemoglobin, Packed Cell Volume (PCV), White blood cell (WBC) and Red bold cell (RBC) at 7th, 14th, & 28th day of experiment. The mean±SE of haematological parameters in pre-weaning piglets were in normal ranged in treatment group and control group and significance difference were observed in WBC level on day 14 of pre-weaning. However, overall haematological level at 28th day was in normal range which indicates that supplementation of probiotic during pre-weaning stage did not influence the haematological parameters in pre-weaning pigs.
