The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of selected hematological and immune indices in growers transported from the rearing unit to the fattening facility. Blood samples were analyzed for the white blood cell count and the leucogram profile. IgA, IgM, and IgG immunoglobulin contents as well as lysozyme concentration were determined in serum. The hematological evaluation indicated a significant impact of the transfer to the fattening unit on the WBC picture. In fatteners aged 11 weeks, an elevated level of neutrophils with a concomitant decline in lymphocyte numbers was observed. A higher concentration of dust as well as chemical and microbial contaminants determined in the air of the fattening unit also affected immunoglobulin concentration and lysozyme content.
