Anaemia can be due to various reasons like endoparasitism, ectoparasifism, haemoparasitism and nutritional deficiencies. !t is a condition which silently kills the production capabilities and reproductive traits and suppresses the resistance power of animals. For the present study, 250 anaemic goats belonging to different age groups and breeds were selected and detailed investigations were carried out to assess the underlying causes behind their anaemia. Heavy endo and ecto parasitism was observed responsible for anaemia in majority of animals
