Coccidiosis is a protozoan disease that resulted in tremendous loss in the poultry farms. A cross sectional study was conducted from 2019 to 2020 in Bishoftu and Adama Poultry farms to determine the occurrence of coccidiosis and its risk factors. A total of 120 diarrheic chicken up to the age of 6 months were selected purposively. Out of 120 chicken subjected for fecal examination 58.33%, (n=70) showed coccidia infection in the study farms. The highest prevalence of coccidiosis was noted in poorly high hygienic farms which was statistically significant (p<5%) higher in one to fourth months. Old age chicken and lower in chickens that aged less than one month (6.7%). The variation was statistically insignificant among these groups (p=0.06). The result also showed that females harbored higher coccidia (34.2%) parasites than male chickens (24.2%) in the farms. The current result indicated that coccidiosis is a common problem in the poultry farms. Therefore, introducing prevention and control measures that comprises of strategic prophylaxis against coccidiosis than therapeutic regimens should be appropriately practiced in the farms.
