The aim of the work was assessed the influence of parturition at the dynamics of leukocytes and T cells subsets in a selenium supplemented newborn lambs. The experiment was conducted on nineteen sucking newborn lambs of the Sumava sheep breed. After parturition blood samples were taken from lambs on day 10, 30 and 60. The WBC in blood smear was detected by microscopically analysis (norm no. 84 3206), and the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells subsets in blood were detected by flow cytometery. The WBC was in physiological norm. The highest WBC was founded on 30th day of the experiment. In the dynamics of the CD4+ a CD8+ T cells subsets were founded statistically significant differences: In the CD4+ subset between 10th and 30th day of the experiment (P < 0.001) and between 30th and 60th day of the experiment (P < 0.01), and in the CD8+ subset between 10th and 30th day of the experiment (P < 0.001). Excepted in 30th day of the experiment were counts of the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells subsets inside the physiological norm.
