A cross-section study was carried out from November, 2015 to march, 2016 with the aim determining the prevalence of on ovine fasciolosis in and around choleworeda. Fecal sample were collected from a total of 384 sheep of all age and sex. Sedimentation technique was used for the recovery of fasciola egg from fresh fecal. Sample from these animal examination 195 were positive with an overall infection rate of 50.8% significant different (P< 0.05), the highest infection rate was found in shaboshuli (63.1%) and the lowest (40.5%) in YaIgugu, through statically a significant different (P< 0.05). There was no statically significant different (P>0.05) in infection rates between male and female animal. Infection rate in age group were significant difference (P< 0.05). In general, the study indicates that ovine fasciolosis is widely distributed disease with high prevalence rate in the study area and trategic use of helminthic should be to reduce pasture contamination with fluke's eggs.
