The present study was conducted to see the seasonality status of Haemonchus contortus in relation to PCV values. In this study, higher EPG (1860.57±140.20) was found during rainy season as compared to value (175±47.70) of summer season. The peak value was attained in month of August. Highest mean PCV% (25.25±0.57) in month of April and lowest mean PCV% (16.63±0.61) in month of August were recorded.
