Abstract
An abattoir survey based study was conducted between November 2011
and March 2012 period, to determine the prevalence and
economic significance of #hydatidosis in slaughtered #ruminants. During
the study, Debrezeit Elfora export abattoir were visited twice a week to
examine the internal organs (livers, lungs, kidney and hearts) for the
presence of #hydatidcysts in ruminants and total 203 cattle, 384 sheep
and
547 goats were examined for the presence of hydatid cyst. It was found
that 42.86% of cattle, 7.03% of sheep and 4.39% of goats were infected
with this disease. The cysts in cattle, sheep and goats (P < 0.05)
were found mostly in lungs (41.4%, 7.03% and 4.39%) respectively,
whereas
the liver is second affected organ in all the three #species of animals
(p< 0.05%). In addition to this, six, two and one kidneys in cattle,
sheep
and goats respectively and one #heart in cattle only were infected with
hydatid cyst. In this study, the prevalence of hydatidosis and the
number
of cysts in ruminants were found different when the cattle, sheep and
goats examined were stratified based on their age and body condition.
