This study was designed to determine dynamic dispersal, treatment of Haemonchus contortus and its effect on blood profile of small ruminants in district Lodhran, Punjab. Out of total 646 animals, 30% (97/323) sheep and 25% (81/323) goats were found positive. The prevalence was found associated with seasons and body condition score. They were treated with the combination of triclabendazole and levamisole, Mallotus philippensis and Fumaria indica Triclabendazole and levamisole combination was the most effective treatment in order followed by kamila (Mallotus philippensis) and shahtrah (Fumaria indica).The statistical analysis of blood profile showed significant (P<0.05) decrease in red blood cells, haemoglobin, pack cell volume, total serum protein concentration, serum albumin and significant (P<0.05) increase in eosinophil number and serum enzymes level in infected animals. In conclusion, H. contortus may be considered as endemic in study area.
