Abstract: TA cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2021 up to Feb 2022 in and around Hawa Gelan District, Kellem Wollega zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia to estimate the prevalence of horse’s gastrointestinal tract (GIT) parasites and assess the associated risk factors. Fecal samples were collected from 384 randomly selected horses of varied sexes for the study and examined with coprologic examination. The overall prevalence of GIT parasites was 88.0% (338/384) with mixed infection of 27.6% (106/384) of the horses. Infection with one species of helminthes were more common 265 (60%) than infections with two 86 (22.4) and three 10 (2.6%) species of helminthes.
