Experimental study was conducted on forty horses with Epizootic lymphangitis. After identi cation of cases and oral consent from horse's owner the study were conducted. Selected horses were examined and attributed an EZL in six grading level depending on the severity of the disease. The study was conducted in ve different experimental groups in which equal numbers of eight experimental units were assigned. The presence of EZL was con rmed in a total of forty horses by Giemsa stain. Animals were then included in the trial to assess the comparative effectiveness of different treatment protocols. The analysis of variables of all experimental groups and all variables of the study group (number of nodules, number of discharging nodules, recovered nodules and grade) shows statistical signi cant (P < 0.05) differences. All experimental units were examined six times with 48 frequencies. Grade was mostly preferred to determine the level of effectiveness of the drug. The statistically signi cant differences in therapeutic value were observed by pairwise comparison of all groups. The oral KI in combination with topical 4% iodine tincture versus 10% NaI IVRP in combination with topical 4% iodine tincture, 10% NaI through jugular vein in combination with topical 4% iodine tincture and debridement and topical 4% iodine tincture with their respective P values were 0.004, 0.025 and 0.018. The combination of 10% NaI through jugular vein in combination with topical application of 4% iodine tincture was comparably better effective treatment than other remedies. Most of the horse owners also responded that intravenous injection of the drugs in combination with 4% iodine tincture topically had better therapeutic value than other remedies.

Equine lungworm, Dictyocacaulus arnifieldi is a parasitic disease that affects horses, donkeys and mules, is widespread in study area. The infection is transmitted by ingestion of contaminated pasture which contains infective stage larvae of Dictyocacaulus arnifieldi. To-date, effective control program still remains to be a reality and needs to be strengthened. Purposive sampling technique was used to select study animals and performed using modified Berman technique in Ambo University veterinary laboratory technology. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression used to analyze using STATA statistical software version 9. From the total 384 equines (donkeys, n= 313, mules, n= 29, and horses, n= 42) the positive animal was 77 resulting the overall prevalence 20.1% equine lungworm. There is...

There is significance difference between Kebele (small admistrative unit), age, body condition and seasons of the study period (p<0.05). The study suggests that the community of the study area was highly affected lungworm infection, Dictyocacaulus arnifieldi. Therefore, awareness should be created to the owners regarding the management system of equine was recommended.
