| Abstract | Six hundred cattle and buffaloes each were randomly selected from population in and around district Faisalabad and examined under field conditions for the prevalence of lice infestation. Haematopinus eurysternus, Haematopinus tuberculatus, Linognathus vituli were reported in this area. Prevalence of lice was higher (24%; 144/600) on cattle than buffaloes (18%; 113/600). The prevalence was higher in adult age and lowest in older age in both the species. Closed houses were having highest infestation followed by cement type and open type houses. Month wise prevalence was found highest in months of March - April and lowest in August - September. For chemotherapeutic trial, thirty cattle and buffaloes each were randomly divided into three major groups (A thru C) each of which was further divided into two sub groups for cattle and buffaloes, respectively.
