A total of 236 (132 male and 104 female) donkeys were randomly selected from rural places and subjected to qualitative coprological examinations to identify the major parasites involved in parasitic burden. Donkeys were grouped in to two age categories (under two years of age were classed as young and of two to ten years were classed as adult. Comparisons between age groups and sexes were made for donkeys. The parasites encountered in donkeys had a total prevalence of 82.21% (194/236). Single infection was 54.13% (105/194) while mixed infection was 45.87% (89/194). Nematodes had highest prevalence 69.92% (165/236). Strongyles were more prevalent 34.75% (82/236), followed by Parascaris equorum 15.26% (36/236), Oxyuris equi 12.29% (29/236), Dictycaulus spp. 5.94% (14/236) and Habronema spp. 1.7% (4/236) respectively. Cestodes as Anoplocephala spp. was detected in (13/236) 5.51% while trematodes as Gastrodiscus spp. in (9/236) 3.82 % and Fasciola spp in (7/236) 2.97% respectively. According to sex of studied donkeys, females had higher prevalence 51.28% (121/236) than males 30.94% (73/236) and according to age, the prevalence in younger (up to 2 years) was lower 33.05% (78/236) while in adult donkeys (2-10 years) had higher 49.16% (116/236).
