The aim of this study was to investigate methods of treating ruminants’ diseases in Ekiti State. Information about the methods used in treating ruminants’ diseases were collected from a veterinary hospital in Ado-Ekiti. Major diseases that affected the ruminants include diarrhea, mange, Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), mastitis, dystocia, uterine prolapse and so on. They were treated using modern drugs like; Albendazole (Leeford Health care ltd, India 1 tab), ivomec (A menarini India PVtLtd, India, 0.5 ml), Oxylet (Kachhela medex private limited, India,1 ml), Penstrep (Dutch Farm International BV, Holland, 3 ml), Emvit (Uni-med, India, 2 ml), Oxytcin (FPP manufacturers, India, 1 ml), B complex (Estrellas life sciences private limited, India, 0.5 ml), Salphen (Industrial corporation of India, 1 ml) and so on. Treating the diseases of ruminants can help reduce the rate of diseases outbreak and enhance the economy value of the ruminant farmers and the that of Ekiti state at large.
