| Abstract: | The mycoflora of 220 skin scrapings, hair, nail samples and pens’ materials of apparently healthy animals including cows,
sheep, goats, rabbits, pigs and dogs were determined. Twenty eight species of fungi belonging to ten genera were recovered.
Chrysosporium spp. were the most common and C. keratinophilum was recovered from all animals. Dermatophytes which are known causal agents of dermatophytosis were also isolated indifferent
frequencies (Microsporum gypseum, M. canis, Trichophytonmentagrophytes, T. rubrum).
