dc.description.abstract	The aim of the study was to assess the diseases affecting sheep and goat production and productivity in three districts of Ilu Abba Bora Zone, southwest Ethiopia. Results of the study revealed that 38, 35.5, 34.4, 12.2 and 4.4% of the respondents identified gastrointestinal worms, persistent nasal discharge, coughing, trypanosomiasis and anthrax as the major health problem of small ruminants, respectively. The average mortality of sheep and goats over the last 12 months was significantly (P<0.05) lower in Mettu than that of Bacho and Darimu districts. The majority (92.6%) of the respondents used veterinary medicines to treat their sick animals. It can be suggested that technological intervention by concerned stakeholders is vital consideration to improve small ruminant health through efficient health maintenance scheme.	en_US
