This work was carried out to evaluate the influence of administration of propilene glycol, cobalt and vitamin B12, on the electrophoretic profile of serum proteins on sheep and their offspring. The study was conducted using 18 pregnant ewes which were randomly divided into groups at 30 days before the date scheduled for delivery in order to be given supplements until the date preceding the birth. The groups were as follows: Group 1 (G1/n=6) Control Group; Group 2 (G2/n=6) Cobalt and Vitamin B12 (wich was received 1mg of cobalt orally daily and 2mg of vitamin B12, intramuscularly weeckly); and Group 3 (G3/n=6) Propylene Glycol (administration of 30mL of propylene glycol orally daily). We observed that mosto f the protein fractions vary with age development, particularly total serum protein, albumin, beta-globulin and gamma-globulin, and the determinant factor for these changes is colostrum intake. Furthermore, there was no influence of intake by sheep of the components studied on the profile of these variables in lambs
