Abstract: In this study, normal values of serum non-electrolytes were studied in Moghani sheep breed. A total of 240 samples from 6 age groups and each sex were selected and measured of serum electrolytes including (Calcium, sodium, potassium, copper, chloride, iron and magnesium ions). The levels of sodium and potassium were determined by flame photometric method and other parameters were measured by spectrophotometeric method. According to the results of this research, there was a significant difference between age groups concerning sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium levels (p<0.05) and between 2 sex with calcium level (p<0.05). Also, there was a significant positive correlation between age groups and sexes with calcium level and a significant negative correlation between age groups with sodium and potassium levels.
