Abstract: Across sectional study was conducted in and around Kore zone Sarmale district from December 2022 to May 2023 to study the prevalence of major hard ticks’ genera on cattle and identify the prevalence of tick genera level. A total of 384 cattle was selected randomly and examined for hard tick genera level. Out of 384 examined cattle 201(52.33%) of cattle were found to be infested by one or more ticks. About 2379 adult licks were collected from the animal body parts preserved with 70% alcohol and were identified to genera level by using stereo microscope.
