In order to judge the state of health of the sheep authorized for slaughter at the slaughterhouse of the city of Korhogo through their lipid profile, 82 sheep were sampled. In each of the selected animals, total blood was taken and collected under aseptic condition on fasting mornings. These samples were taken after ante-mortem inspections of the jugular vein using Venojects® needles. The blood of each sheep was collected in dry tubes. The serum obtained after centrifugation at 3000 revolutions for 5 minutes was used to determine lipid parameters (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides) using a "RAYTO RT-9200" brand analyzer. The results indicated that over 90% of the animals declared healthy had lipid metabolism disorders. These abnormal values were significantly very high in female sheep compared to males.
