Abstract

Examination of sheep and goats in an organized farm for two years revealed the occurrence of flea's Ctenophalides felis orientis and C. Canis. Among the animals goats were mostly infested with flea. Cypermethrin was found to be effective at a concentration of 0.01% as spray to control the flea in small ruminants.
