Abstract: Sheep are susceptible to endoparasitic nematodes, roundworms, tapeworms, and coccidia which are very pathogenic [1]. This is suggested to be due to a combination of several factors such as climate, energy level of the diet, age, number of ingested larvae and sheep general health [2,3] reported that losses of livestock and income through death and condemnation of carcasses and viscera is the most direct and readily appreciated social and economic consequences of parasitism in tropical and subtropical areas. Helmithiasis, specially gastro-enteritis constitutes a serious cause of limitation to the productivity of small ruminants throughout the world due to the associated morbidity, mortality, cost of treatment and control measures [4]. In Ethiopian highlands, crossbreeding of indigenous Menz sheep with exotic Awassi sheep had problems of high mortality of the distributed rams due to internal parasites [5]. Gastrointestinal parasitic infection associated with reduced appetite, poor weight gains, diarrhea, and death [6].
