Abstract:

A cross-sectional study was conducted on bovine hydatidosis in cattle slaughtered at Durame municipality abattoir in Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Region of Ethiopia with objective of determining the prevalence of hydatid cyst in the study area. Accordingly, a total of 398 randomly selected slaughtered cattle were examined both during ante-mortem and post-mortem inspections and then a prevalence of 10.55% (42/398) was observed. The chi-square test of potential risk factors revealed that there was statistically significant difference in the prevalence of hydatidosis between animals from different origin (p < 0.05). However, breed, age, sex and body condition showed no significant effect (p > 0.05) on the prevalence of the disease. Regarding the distribution of hydatid cyst; liver (49.21%), lung (28.57%), heart (19.05%) and spleen (3.17%). The estimated annual financial loss due to organ condemnation was 5,684,684 ETB (120,951 USD) based on the local market price in the study period. This study assured that bovine hydatidosis was the problem of cattle in this study area. Therefore, it needs due attention to safeguard the public health and the economy.
