Anaemia is a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood or a lowered ability of the blood to carry oxygen. 263 sheep and 1836 goats presented to the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Namakkal, Tamil Nadu were screened for the study from September 2019 to August 2020. Incidence of anaemia was the highest in sheep and goats under 3 months of age and in the winter season. Various etiologies observed in sheep included ectoparasitic infestation (n=20; 55.56 per cent), endoparasitic infection (n=7; 19.44 per cent), mixed infection(n=4; 11.11 per cent) and other conditions (n=5; 13.89 per cent), whereas in goats ectoparasitic infestation (n=84; 63.64 per cent), endoparasitic infection (n=29; 21.97 per cent), mixed infection (n=8; 6.06 per cent)and other conditions (n=11; 8.33 per cent).
