The scarce literature about complete hemogram and determination of total plasmatic protein in some species of farm animals, especially regarding to race and age, difficults the interpretation of laboratory tests, due to the absence of pre-established values, which could help diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of several diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the values of hemogram and PPT in lambs of Santa Ines breed, on different age. 91 observation were made of animals stratified on three different age, 0 to 15 (FE1),16 to 30 (FE2) and 31 to 60 (FE3), days old, at the municipality of Itapura/SP. The averageof hemogram and PPT in comparision to SNK test by statistical program SAS.
