        <Abstract>The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of medicated urea molasses blocks (MUMB) on sub-clinical parasitic infestations and urea molasses blocks (UMB) to replenish nutrients scarcity. Twenty four goats were divided randomly into three groups of eight animals each (n=8) according to Completely Randomized Design (CRD) a group was no supplement (control) and the other were supplemented with UMB and MUMB for 90 days. Data were recorded and statistically analyzed under CRD through one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Mean daily dry matter intake was higher (1.502 ± 0.121 kg) in MUMB supplemented group and lowest in control group (Lenovo). Mean daily weight gain of goats in control, UMB, MUMB was 64 ± 23, 71 ± 22 and 85 ± 21 grams, respectively. Body condition score (BCS) was recorded in 1-5 scale of meat goats. The mean BCS in control, UMB and MUMB was 2.741 ± 0.193b, 2.816 ± 0.185ab and 2.903 ± 0.248a respectively. Mean fecal egg count was lowest in MUMB as followed by UMB and control group. It is concluded that feeding of MUMB have significant effects for the control of sub-clinical gastrointestinal worm’s infestation and replenishes nutrients deficiency by providing energy and protein.</Abstract>
