Chicken meat has become in recent years one of the main sources of animal protein consumed in Brazil and one of the leading products of the national agribusiness export agenda. This outstanding position was achieved by the continuous evolution of the areas of health, nutrition, management, environment and genetics. In the poultry chain, the breeding of heavy chicken´s lineage have a prominent role, since they play the role of transmission of the genetic code to the chicken, guaranteeing the phenotypic expression of its selected qualities. However, the production of high-yielding and productive animals lacks the knowledge of their physiology, the possible metabolic alterations to which they are subject and the best conditions of creation, thus guaranteeing their well-being. Clinical pathology represents an important diagnostic aid tool, much explored in human medicine and veterinary practice in companion animals. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the use of this resource in the production of broiler chickens and commercial laying hens. In order to know the physiological variations according to age and sex in the blood biochemical profile of the broiler breeders, blood was collected for the analysis of some biochemical constituents. The evaluations were defined at the ages of 4, 12, 20, 28, 36, 44, 52 and 60 weeks, using an industrial production unit of broiler breeders, in the city of Uberlândia, MG. Among the biochemical constituents studied, there were significant differences (p<0.05) in total protein, albumin, globulins, A / G ratio, uric acid, triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, phosphorus, Ca / P, AST and ALP, demonstrating the influence of gender and / or age, when analyzed in the rearing and production phases. Ca and GGT also showed significant differences (p <0.05) in the rearing phase and ALT in the production phase, and were also influenced by sex and / or age. In this sense, it is necessary to undertake new studies in this same line of research, also using other diagnostic tools, such as clinical and pathology, seeking to better understand the physiology and possible infectious challenges and metabolic changes in poultry heavy strain broiler.
