CBPP is an oldest and the noticed disease in Ethiopia. Although, combined blanket vaccination was given with Rinderpest vaccine in the former times it was not eradicated in Ethiopia. Rather the disease is distributed all over the country in various magnitudes of prevalences and made the controlling process very complex. Little is known about the Epizootiology of CBPP in Ethiopia and was thought to be the problem of low land pastoral area in which the adjacent high land do have probability to be exposed, unlike the research result of many literatures which has revealed its outbreak in high lands of Addis Ababa and North showa. In Ethiopia the average physical losses from Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in terms of cattle deaths, traction power, cost of treatment and control is so, magnificent and incalculable both in endemic and epidemic areas that many changes are expected from this sector to save the immense potential loss arising from this problem. As a disease of intensification, animal husbandry and associated cattle movement were incriminated to be the risk factors. In general, small holder farmers of Ethiopia that covers the largest portion of agrarian community was underestimated and not understood because of which no noticeable economic change was seen despite the huge potential of livestock population in the country.} }
