On aimed to study the profile hematological of female goats of the sem race defined, raised in the area of Cariri Paraibano at a semi-intensive regime and under the same environmental and management conditions and handling as well as the search for reference values that adequate to our region. Sanguine samples of 143 clinically healthy animals were collected with ages between 1 and 12 years. Starting from just a single sample of blood of each animal the eritrograma was accomplished (Red blood cell count, packed cell volume, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular values, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration) and the leucograma (, white blood cell count and differential white blood cell count). The obtained data were appraised statistically by means of the Tukey of Test at the level of significance of 5%, comparing the results with found to other authors. The results demonstrated that significant differences of results were not evidenced found by other authors, however there were differences for some parameters described in the literature for animals of the same race and age groups, reflecting the influence of factors as altitude, climate, nutrition and handling among others. So, the need of researches is evidenced for the establishment of regional values.
