%X In this paper, the magnetocaloric in La<sub>0.5</sub>Sm<sub>0.2</sub>Sr<sub>0.3</sub>Mn<sub>1-x</sub>Fe<sub>x</sub>O<sub>3</sub> compounds with x = 0 (LSSMO) and x = 0.05 (LSSMFO) were simulated using mean field model theory. A strong consistency was observed between the theoretical and experimental curves of magnetizations and magnetic entropy changes, <math xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'>
