Abstract
The purpose. To study influence of formic acid upon some links of metabolism at piglets during weaning from sows. Methods. Hematological, biochemical, zootechnical, statistical. Results. It is fixed that adding formic acid to standard ration of piglets beginning from the 10th and up to the 40-ty day of age stimulates respiratory function of blood, cell link of immunodefence, reinforces power and anabolic processes, promotes daily average gains and preservation. Conclusions. For activation of metabolic, adaptive and productive gears in an organism of piglet it is offered to add formic acid to standard ration during the first month after weaning from sows.

Key words: formic acid, piglet, metabolism, weaning.
