The objective of the study was to assess the changes acquired in haematological and biochemical parameters attributed to stress during slaughter in pigs. The study was conducted in twenty pigs. The blood sample was collected under aseptic condition from twenty pigs before slaughter at instructional pig farm and during slaughter from abattoir. On statistical analyses (mean was compared with t-test), it was observed that the haemoglobin, total erythrocyte count decreased and packed cell volume increased significantly (P<0.05). Biochemical parameters; albumin, Aspartate Transaminase and creatinine kinase significantly increased (p<0.05), while globulin, Blood Urea Nitrogen and creatinine decreased significantly (p<0.05). Significant increase (p<0.01) in of concentration cholesterol and total protein were recorded. Concentration of sodium and chloride decreased significantly (p<0.01) and potassium was increased significantly (p<0.01) due to slaughter. The study concluded that animals after slaughter can show metabolic alteration that leads to hyperglycaemia, increased lactate and descent of pH.
