Total 3 different species of parasites were recorded in this study and those were <em>Ascaridia columbae, Capillilaria obsignata, Raillietina tetragona. </em>Out of 263 pigeon, 109 pigeon having ascarid and capillaria positive were treatment with piparazine citrate and levamisole HCL. The pigeon were treated with recommended (10g mixed in 6 litre drinking water for 100 pigeon) dose of Ascarex<sup>®</sup> and recommended (1gm mixed in 1 litre drinking water) dose of Avinex<sup>®</sup> orally, respectively. The recovery rate of ascariasis at 7<sup>th</sup> days was 50.9% and capillariasis was 51.85%. After 21th days the recovery rate of ascariasis was 72.72% and capillariasis was 66.66%. The efficacy of drugs is more in case of young (77.27% at 7<sup>th</sup> days and 87.36% at 21<sup>th</sup> days) than adult (44.82% at 7<sup>th</sup> days and 65.51% at 21<sup>th</sup> days).In exotic breeds efficacy is good (60.41% at 7th days and 85.41% at 21<sup>th</sup> days) than indigenous breeds (44.26% at 7<sup>th</sup> days and 66.65% at 21<sup>th</sup> days). The recovery rate is more in traditional (65.3% at 7<sup>th</sup> days and 78.33% at 21<sup>th</sup> days) than commercial farming system (42.85% at 7<sup>th</sup> days and 58.33% at 21<sup>th</sup> days).</p> <p>Res.
