The determination of milk’s density, pH, cryoscopy and acidity is important to distinguish the healthy milk from that resulting from frauds or sick animals. These parameters have not been studied enough by researchers from the area of horse raising in the equines until the present. The aim of this study was to determine density, cryoscopy, pH and acidity of Mangalarga Marchador mares’ milk. Thrifty one mares, from ranches about 120 Km from Goiânia, were used. They were milked every 15 days starting on the 15th day after foaling. The average values found for den-sity, cryoscopy, pH, lactose and acidity were respectively (1.0341g/ml), (-0.545 OH), (7.12), (6.57%) and (4.73°D). This study permitted the understanding about the variance of amplitude of these parameters  mare’s milks (Mangalarga Marchador) studied in the state of Goiás. However new studies should be done in order to improve the characterization of these factors which can influence these physical-chemical variables such as the hygiene in milking and the time spent between the milking and the moment of analysis of acidity in addition to the various frauds committed by breeders.    Key-words: Acidity, cryoscopy, density, equine, milk.
