Feacal examination revealed that the prevalence rate of gastrointestinal nematode in examined animals was (31.7%). The most prevalent nematodes recovered by larval cultural were Trichotronglus spp. (32.1%), Haemonchus spp. (27.9%), Oestertagia spp. (23.2%), and Nematodirus (16.8%).While the infestation rate of Fasciola spp, para mphystomum and moneizia were 16.3 %, 8.3 % and 107 % respectively. Examination of skin scraping revealed that the prevalence rate of mange was (14.7%). The mycological culture revealed isolate of Trichophyton spp. (20.2%). Mixed infestation of gastrointestinal nematodes and skin lesion due to infestation by mange and infection by ringworm were 34.2% and 43.6 % respectively. Mixed infestation of Fasciola spp.and skin lesion which occur due to infestation by mange and by ringworm was 61 % and 82 % respectively. The efficacy of drugs as Ivomec F, Mangecide and Sulpher ointment 10 % treated mange was 100% while the efficacy of drugs in calves infected by ring worm were Dichlorphen 1.5 %. Tincture iodine 3% and glacial acitic acid 3% was 87.5 %, 95 % and 100 % respectively. The efficacy of drugs used for selected calves wormer in this study were, Abendazole in parasitic gostrointestinal, Fascioala and Moneizia infestation was 96%, 83.3 % and 100 % respectively, while levamisol and Ivomec have 100% efficacy in treatment of parasitic gostrointestinal.
