Abstract:	The responses to single ·anthelmintic treatment with Ivermectin injection at early winter was evaluated in a flock of migratory sheep and goats of Ghanpokhara village of Lamjung district. The positive response of the treatment was evident in both species and age iroups but the magnitude was variable. While the treated ewes maintained their body weight throughout the winter, the controls lost about 7% of their body weight. In the lambs the response was even more spectacular as the treqted lambs gained 233% higher body weight than the controls. The response of adult goats was in the similar trend as the ewes but the weight gain difference in the treated and untreated kids were of similar magnitude. ·These .findings indicated that a single anthelmintic treatment of the migratory sheep and goats at the beginning of the winter will have significant positive effect for improving the productivity of the flocks.
