With the purpose of establishing the metabolic profile in hair sheep in the department of Córdoba. 10 sheep were chosen between males and females of different productive stages, in optimal health conditions from 32 farms distributed in the department of Córdoba, blood samples were collected in order to determine by spectrophotometry serum concentrations of total proteins, albumin, globulins, urea, urea nitrogen (BUN), glucose, total cholesterol and HDL, β-hydroxybutyrate, triglycerides, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. The results of arithmetic means found were total proteins 6.16 ± 1.56 g / dL, albumin 3.41 ± 0.82 g / dL, globulins 2.77 ± 1.57 g / dL, urea 47.37 ± 12, 48 mg / dL, urea nitrogen 22.26 ± 5.87 mg / dL with respect to the protein metabolic profile; glucose 46.49 ± 26.16 mg / dL, cholesterol 66.56 ± 21.34 mg / L, triglycerides 52.74 ± 16.59 mg / dL, HDL cholesterol 36.14 ± 16.87 mg / dL, β - hydroxybutyrate 1.29 ± 0.78 mmol / Lt according to the energy metabolic profile and for the mineral metabolic profile calcium 3.49 ± 2.51 mg / dL, magnesium 1.80 ± 35mg / dL and phosphorus 10.14 ± 2.40 mg / dL. For each profile, significant differences were found between municipalities, productive stage and sex. It concludes by highlighting the importance of having reference concentration values, which globally evaluate the productive behavior of hair sheep in favor of strengthening the sheep-goat sector of the department and the country.
