Popis: This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of breed, sex and their interactions on aspects of haematology, serum biochemistry and morphometry of healthy pigs at pre- and post-weaning stages of growth (4 and 12 weeks respectively). It was also aimed at predicting the serum biochemical parameters (SBP) that are biomarkers for growth using regression tree method (RTM). Seventy-one crossbred (71 CB) pigs (Landrace × Local pigs) and 21 Local (L) pigs were reared from birth to adult stage, with blood samples and morphometric parameters (MP) taken at pre- and post-weaning stages. The CB pigs had higher values for aspartate transaminase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, SGOT) (P
