A cross sectional study on prevalence of cattle fasciolosis and associated economical losses in cattle slaughtered at Gondar Elfora Abattoir, northwest Ethiopia

Abstract: Fasciolosis is a parasitic disease caused by either Fasciola hepatica or Faciola gigantica. These parasitic infections are of global significance causing diseases in different mammalian species including humans. In this study, the prevalence and economic significance of Fasciolosis in cattle slaughtered at Gondar Elfora abattoirs was assessed. A total of 400 cattle were examined and 85 cattle (21.2%) were affected by fasciolosis. This findings indicated that, the prevalence of cattle fasiolosis is significantl… Show more

“…The rate of paramphistomosis was considerably in line with a report from Hawassa at 6.7% [43] and elsewhere in the world: in Germany at 5.5% [69] and in Malaysia at 5% [70]. The present Paramphistomes prevalence recorded was lower than the previous reports of coprological studies: in Holeta Agricultural Research Center Dairy Farm at 10.2% [54], in northwest Ethiopia at 45.83% [38] and abattoir study prevalence in Gondar at 51.82% [71], in Jimma at 57.52% [72], and in the eastern part of Turkey at 8.95% [73]. This difference might be due to variations in the livestock management system, the absence of swampy areas, the effect of deworming, and variations in the study period.…”
