sheep comprise about 80% of the slaughtered sheep in Sudan which greatly
contributes in Sudan economy. Worldwide, gastrointestinal nematodes represent a
major production problem for ruminant. Energy level of the diet was suggest by
experts as one of the factors that affect infestation by internal parasites.
