Abstract: The experiments are carried out with castrated male pigs fed individually from 20 kg to 100 kg live weight. The animalsfrom the control group (12 pigs) are fed with standard soybean-corn feedstuff and these from the experimental group (12 pigs)– with soybean-barley mixture. The pigs are fed with rations equal in content of protein and energy. The objective of the investigationis to establish the level of the main plasma metabolites, participating in the cholesterol transport and the possibility toaffect them in fattening pigs by the effect of barley included in the feed content. The blood plasma is analyzed for content oftotal protein, cholesterol, phospholipids, triacylglycerols and lipoprotein classes: chylomicrons, low density lipoproteins, verylow density lipoproteins and high density lipoproteins.The obtained concentrations of the main plasma metabolites in the control and experimental group according to the biologicalnorms and show a presence of a full value synthesis and secretion of liver proteins, phospholipids, cholesterol, triacylglycerolsand lipoproteins. The main lipoprotein classes in the blood plasma of both animal groups are in the physiologicaloptimum range and don’t show differences obligated to the feeding factor. The ratio high density lipoproteins/ low densitylipoproteins for the two groups increases from 0.81 for 20 kg up to 1.04 and 1.18 for 50 kg and reaches values from 1.45and 1.57 for 100 kg animals, for the control and experimental group respectively.
