Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence rates of ectoparasites (external parasites) seen in cattle in Mu{\u g}la, Ayd{\i}n and {\.I}zmir regions.

Methods: For ectoparasite screening, a total of 1,353 cattle breeds from Mu{\u g}la, Ayd{\i}n and {\.I}zmir regions were included in the study. Ectoparasite samples were collected with the help of hand, forceps, comb and scalpel, brought to the laboratory in plastic containers containing 70\% alcohol and examined under a microscope.

Results: In the study, 191 (14.12\%) of 1,353 cattle were infested with external parasites. Of the cattle, 138 (72.25\%) ticks, 24 (12.57\%) lice, 9 (4.71\%) tabanid, 8 (4.19\%) hippoboscid, 7 (3.66\%) fleas and 5 (2.62\%) mites were detected. Accordingly, 4 tick species in cattle Hyalomma marginatum, Hyalomma excavatum, Hyalomma detritum, Rhipicephalus turanicus, 4 lice species (Bovicola bovis, Linognathus vituli, Solenopotes capillatus, Haematopinus quadripertusus ), 1 mite species (Chorioptes bovis), 2 flea species (Ctenocephalides canis, Ctenocephalides felis), 1 hippoboscid fly species (Hippobosca equina) ve 3 tabanid fly species (Tabanus bromius, Tabanus exclusus, Philipomyia aprica) diagnosed.

Conclusion:The presence of external parasites varied depending on the frequency of antiparasitic use in cattle.
